[Python-projects] PyLint use case

[trash at willeboordse.demon.nl]

For example consider the following script (named script.py);

print i

When I run this script through PyLint I get;

script.py:1: [E] Undefined variable 'i'

Excellent.

Then I have another script;

i = 5
execfile('script.py')

Obviously this script lint?s without above error.


But now I want to run PyLint from the second script, so I do;

i = 5
from pylint import lint
lint.Run(['script.py'])

And PyLint reports the;

script.py:1: [E] Undefined variable 'i'

and that is not what I want (I want it to run without the error just as above).


How to run PyLint to process script.py from the second script
provided its context?
