[Python-projects] Pylint : Non-ASCII characters count double

[Lubin Fayolle]

Hello,

I have just understood why some of my lines were deemed too long by
pylint. For instance, when checking the below script:

<BEGINNING OF SCRIPT>
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

"""A little script to demonstrate a little bug."""

print "------------------------------------------------------------------------"
print "-----------------------------------------------------------------------é"

<END OF SCRIPT>

Pylint returns the following warning:

     myscript.py:6: [C] Line too long (81/80)

where line 6 corresponds to the second call of print. The two lines are
the same length though... It seems that 'é' counts double, like many (any?)
other non-ASCII characters.

Thought it was worth mentioning even if it is only an annoyance...

Best regards,

Lubin Fayolle
