Answer 1

There is already an issue for this and hopefully gets fixed soon.

If you do not prefer to use xargs you can just do a plain find-exec:

find . -type f -name "*.py" -exec pylint -j 0 --exit-zero {} \;

The problem I had with pylint Project-Dir is that all the absolute imports were not working.
