SublimeLinter-pylint ========================= [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/SublimeLinter/SublimeLinter-pylint.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/SublimeLinter/SublimeLinter-pylint) This linter plugin for [SublimeLinter](https://github.com/SublimeLinter/SublimeLinter) provides an interface to [pylint](http://www.pylint.org/). It will be used with files that have the "python" syntax. ## Installation SublimeLinter must be installed in order to use this plugin. Please use [Package Control](https://packagecontrol.io) to install the linter plugin. Before using this plugin, ensure that `pylint` (1.0 or later) is installed on your system. To install `pylint`, do the following: 1. Install [Python](http://python.org) and [pip](http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/installing.html). If you plan to code in Python 3, you will need to install `pip` for Python 3 as well. 1. Install `pylint` by typing the following in a terminal, replacing ‘x’ with the minor version installed on your system: ```bash # For python 2.x [sudo] pip-2.x install pylint # For python 3.x [sudo] pip-3.x install pylint # On Windows, for python 2.x c:\Python2x\Scripts\pip.exe install pylint # On Windows, for python 3.x c:\Python3x\Scripts\pip.exe install pylint ``` Please make sure that the path to `pylint` is available to SublimeLinter. The docs cover [troubleshooting PATH configuration](http://sublimelinter.com/en/latest/troubleshooting.html#finding-a-linter-executable). ## Settings - SublimeLinter settings: http://sublimelinter.com/en/latest/settings.html - Linter settings: http://sublimelinter.com/en/latest/linter_settings.html Pylint can be configured using `.pylintrc` configuration files and inline comments, more information in [the pylint docs](https://pylint.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#message-control).
