py-pylint: updated to 2.15.9

What's new in Pylint 2.15.9?

False Positives Fixed

Fix false-positive for used-before-assignment in pattern matching with a guard.

Other Bug Fixes

Pylint will no longer deadlock if a parallel job is killed but fail immediately \ 
instead.
When pylint exit due to bad arguments being provided the exit code will now be \ 
the expected 32.
Fixes a ModuleNotFound exception when running pylint on a Django project with \ 
the pylint_django plugin enabled.

Log message:
py-pylint: updated to 2.15.8

1.5.4

Merge StringMethodChecker with StringFormatChecker. This fixes a bug where \ 
disabling all the messages and enabling only a handful of messages from the \ 
StringFormatChecker would have resulted in no messages at all.
Don’t apply unneeded-not over sets.

Log message:
py-pylint: updated to 2.15.7

What's new in Pylint 2.15.7?

False Positives Fixed

Fix deprecated-method false positive when alias for method is similar to name of \ 
deprecated method.

Fix a false positive for used-before-assignment for imports guarded by \ 
typing.TYPE_CHECKING later used in variable annotations.

Other Bug Fixes

Pylint will now filter duplicates given to it before linting. The output should \ 
be the same whether a file is given/discovered multiple times or not.

Fixes a crash in stop-iteration-return when the next builtin is called without \ 
arguments.

Log message:
py-pylint: updated to 2.15.6

What's new in Pylint 2.15.6?

False Positives Fixed

Fix false positive for unhashable-member when subclassing dict and using the \ 
subclass as a dictionary key.
unnecessary-list-index-lookup will not be wrongly emitted if enumerate is called \ 
with start.
Don't warn about stop-iteration-return when using next() over itertools.cycle.

Other Bug Fixes

Messages sent to reporter are now copied so a reporter cannot modify the message \ 
sent to other reporters.
Fixes edge case of custom method named next raised an astroid error.
Fix crash that happened when parsing files with unexpected encoding starting \ 
with 'utf' like utf13.
Fix a crash when a child class with an __init__ method inherits from a parent \ 
class with an __init__ class attribute.

Log message:
py-pylint: updated to 2.15.5

What's new in Pylint 2.15.5?

False Positives Fixed

Fix a false positive for simplify-boolean-expression when multiple values are \ 
inferred for a constant.

Other Bug Fixes

Remove __index__ dunder method call from unnecessary-dunder-call check.

Fixed a multi-processing crash that prevents using any more than 1 thread on MacOS.

The returned module objects and errors that were cached by the linter plugin \ 
loader cannot be reliably pickled. This means that dill would throw an error \ 
when attempting to serialise the linter object for multi-processing use.

Other Changes

Add a keyword-only compare_constants argument to safe_infer.
Sort --generated-rcfile output.

Log message:
py-pylint: updated to 2.15.4

v2.15.4

False Positives Fixed

Fix the message for unnecessary-dunder-call for __aiter__ and
__aneext__. Also
only emit the warning when py-version >= 3.10.

Other Bug Fixes

Fix bug in detecting unused-variable when iterating on variable.

Fixed handling of -- as separator between positional arguments and flags.
This was not actually fixed in 2.14.5.

Report no-self-argument rather than no-method-argument for methods
with variadic arguments.

Fixed an issue where syntax-error couldn't be raised on files with
invalid encodings.

Fix false positive for redefined-outer-name when aliasing typing
e.g. as t and guarding imports under t.TYPE_CHECKING.

Fixed a crash of the modified_iterating checker when iterating on a set
defined as a class attribute.

Fix bug in scanning of names inside arguments to typing.Literal.
See https://peps.python.org/pep-0586/#literals-enums-and-forward-references
for details.

Other Changes

Add method name to the error messages of no-method-argument and
no-self-argument.

Log message:
py-pylint: updated to 2.15.3

v2.15.3

Fixed a crash in the unhashable-member checker when using a lambda as a dict key.

Fix a crash in the modified-iterating-dict checker involving instance attributes.

invalid-class-object does not crash anymore when __class__ is assigned alongside \ 
another variable.

Fix false positive for global-variable-not-assigned when a global variable is \ 
re-assigned via an ImportFrom node.

Fix false positive for undefined-loop-variable in for-else loops that use a function
having a return type annotation of NoReturn or Never.

--help-msg now accepts a comma-separated list of message IDs again.

Log message:
py-pylint: updated to 2.15.2

What's new in Pylint 2.15.2?

Fixed a case where custom plugins specified by command line could silently fail.
Specifically, if a plugin relies on the init-hook option changing sys.path \ 
before it can be imported, this will now emit a bad-plugin-value message. Before \ 
this change, it would silently fail to register the plugin for use, but would \ 
load any configuration, which could have unintended effects.
Fix used-before-assignment for functions/classes defined in type checking guard.
Update modified_iterating checker to fix a crash with for loops on empty list.
The docparams extension now considers typing in Numpy style docstrings as \ 
"documentation" for the missing-param-doc message.
Fix false positive for unused-variable and unused-import when a name is only \ 
used in a string literal type annotation.
Fix false positive for too-many-function-args when a function call is assigned \ 
to a class attribute inside the class where the function is defined.
Fix used-before-assignment for functions/classes defined in type checking guard.
Fix ignored files being linted when passed on stdin.
missing-return-doc, missing-raises-doc and missing-yields-doc now respect the \ 
no-docstring-rgx option.
Don't crash on OSError in config file discovery.
disable-next is now correctly scoped to only the succeeding line.
Update modified_iterating checker to fix a crash with for loops on empty list.

Log message:
py-pylint: add missing build dependency

Fix some pkglint while here.

Log message:
py-pylint: updated to 2.15.0

In pylint 2.15.0, we added a new check missing-timeout to warn of default \ 
timeout values that could cause a program to be hanging indefinitely.

We improved pylint's handling of namespace packages. More packages should be \ 
linted without resorting to using the --recursive=y option.

We still welcome any community effort to help review, integrate, and add \ 
good/bad examples to the doc for 5953. This should be doable without any pylint \ 
or astroid knowledge, so this is the perfect entrypoint if you want to \ 
contribute to pylint or open source without any experience with our code!

Internally, we changed the way we generate the release notes, thanks to \ 
DudeNr33. There will be no more conflict resolution to do in the changelog, and \ 
every contributor rejoice.
