How do I disable “TODO” warnings in pylint?

Question

When running pylint on a python file it shows me warnings regarding TODO comments by default. E.g.:

************* Module foo
W:200, 0: TODO(SE): fi

Answer 1

in the generated config file, you should see a section

  [MISCELLANEOUS]

  # List of note tags to take in consideration, separated by a comma.
  notes=FIXME,XXX,TODO

simply drop TODO from the "notes" list.

The config file is found at

~/.pylintrc

If you have not generated the config file, this can be done with

pylint --generate-rcfile > ~/.pylintrc
