[Python-projects] pylint: problem with custom checkers

[Huurne, Maarten ter]

You have to specify it using the "load-plugins" option, either on the command line or in pylintrc. For example, if your checker is in "my_checker.py", add this to pylintrc:
load-plugins=my_checker

> Is it enough to put it in the directory "checker" where pylint is installed. I did that and when I run pylint on a pythonfile which should respond to my checker I still dont see anything in the output.

I put my custom checker somewhere in my home directory and changed the PYTHONPATH environment variable to include that directory. This is easier for me to administrate because the custom checker is under version control and the installed pylint code is in a directory not writable from a normal user account.

Bye,
                Maarten
