Pylint ignore specific names

Question

I have a problem with pylint, i.e. sometimes it repeats the same message for some variable/class/module etc. and I can't find a workaround for that. What I want is to say pylint "don't check [message XXX|any message] for variable YYY in [this module|module "ZZZ"]" with some option or rcfile directive.

You can ignore all `pylint` checks for the specific variable via the `dummy-variables` configuration: stackoverflow.com/a/50118061/1814353 — luart, May 01 '18 at 14:21
Maybe you mean `# pylint: disable=invalid-name` in the affected class? — Sukombu, Jul 05 '22 at 17:27

There's good-names=YYY for this, or for some advanced stuff you can modify the regex via variable-rgx.

According to the docs you enable and disable messages using lines like:

# pylint: disable=W0631

in the python code.

I know this feature, but i meant something like this `# pylint: disable-msg=W0631 for variable foo` in the beginning of the file – Thorin Schiffer Jan 09 '13 at 11:26
Rather `# pylint: disable=W0631` in the lines with the var. – f p Jan 09 '13 at 11:30

`for i in foo: # pylint: disable=W0631` works only for the line. – f p Jan 09 '13 at 11:38

What you are asking for is not supported in the current version of Pylint.

You may want to get in touch with the maintainers and propose them a feature request and an implementation.

Doesn't [`good-names`](http://docs.pylint.org/features.html#basic-checker) fit the bill quite well? – Tobias Kienzler Aug 02 '13 at 06:11
