[Python-projects] is there a way to tell pylint about dynamic attributes?

[Paul Warner]

I have some python classes which dynamically add attributes in the
__init__ method, and it seems like pylint doesn't see them at all.  Is
there some way to tell pylint about these attributes?  Other than
re-writing the code to have a simple self.attr = value syntax?
Thanks.

$ cat pylintTest.py
class WithDynamicAttrs(object):
    attributes = ['one', 'two']

    def __init__(self):
        for attr in self.__class__.attributes:
            setattr(self, attr, 'foo')

    def printAttrs(self):
        print 'printAttrs one: %s, two: %s' % (self.one, self.two)

instance = WithDynamicAttrs()
instance.printAttrs()

$ python pylintTest.py
printAttrs one: foo, two: foo

$ pylint -e pylintTest.py
