How to prevent python pylint complaining about socket class sendall method

Question

I have a bit of code using a simple tcp socket setup to test something. We run pylint --errors-only on our python files, generally as a way to validate all our code

Answer 1

You can use pylint --errors-only --ignored-classes=_socketobject or add

[TYPECHECK]
ignored-classes=SQLObject,_socketobject

to your ~/.pylintrc file.

From the documenation,

ignored-classes:

List of classes names for which member attributes should not be checked (useful for classes with attributes dynamically set).

Default: SQLObject
