[Python-projects] Possible error within PyLint

[Helmut Namyslo]

Dear Logilab Team,

First of all I want you to thank for the great tool PyLint. It really halps us to keep
our Python code clean.  Maybe I found a little error within PyLint. Look at the
following code sequence:

1: x = 10
2: for x in range(5):
3:     print x
4:
5: if x > 0:
6:     print '#' * x

PyLint produces the following messages:

Message File Name       Line    Position
 [W] Using possibly undefined loop variable 'x' D:\Vision_QA\Other\test.py      5
 [W] Using possibly undefined loop variable 'x' D:\Vision_QA\Other\test.py      6

As far as I understand this code, there is no risk that variable x might be undefined at lines 5 and 6.
I hope this info can help you to make PyLint even better.

Kind regards,
