Subject: Pylint ignore line/block

Good day,

    I was trying to find a way to make Pylint ignore a particular error
or warning for a particular line, and came across the following email in
your archives (http://www.logilab.org/email/1878), which seems to
indicate that this isn't possible.  However, the email is a couple of
years old, so I wondered whether that was still the case.

    Sylvain, in your response to Alexandre, you indicated that you were
looking for a clean way to add such a feature.  I have a suggestion that
may be acceptable:

    Perhaps a comment with a special flag, indicating the specific
errors which are to be ignored for the following line.  For example:

#!<Pylint ignore=W0702>

    Another feature which would be useful would be the ability to change
particular messages to different severities (Error/Warning/Info).  For
example, W0702 flags a condition which I would like to allow, but which
I would like flagged as "Info"

    My objective is to configure Pylint so that I get zero
Error/Warnings in my code for conditions I consider acceptable.  That
way, I won't get into the habit of ignoring warnings, and miss an
important one.

    Any assistance you can provide would be most appreciated.

    Regards,
            Brent
