Setting Up Pylint for Django Project

Setting Up Pylint in a Django Project?

  • Installation using: pip install pylint pylint-django
  • Generate Config file by using: pylint --generate-rcfile > .pylintrc
  • Modify .pylintrc to remove some rules and add load-plugins=pylint_django
  • Run it using: pylint <your-django-project-directory> or pylint $(find . -name "*.py" ! -path "./.venv/*") or  
    pylint --load-plugins pylint_django --django-settings-module=your.app.settings

Recommendations for Improvement

  • Integrate with CI/CD: Integrate Pylint into your CI/CD pipeline to ensure code quality is checked on every commit.
  • Custom Plugins: Create custom Pylint plugins if your project has unique requirements.
  • Consistent Review: Regularly update and review the .pylintrc file to adapt to new coding standards and project changes.
