Pylint invalid constant name

Question

I\'m receiving a Pylint error regarding my constant: MIN_SOIL_PARTICLE_DENS (invalid name). Any ideas why this constant is wrong? Here\'s my full function:

I found this behavior annoying, but there's a way to configure pylint to avoid this!

Merge the following ini-style declaration into your .pylintrc file:

[BASIC]
variable-rgx=((([a-z_][a-z0-9_]{2,})|(_[a-z0-9_]*)|(__[a-z][a-z0-9_]+__))$)|([A-Z_][A-Z0-9_]+$)

I built this regex by taking

• the default snake_case regex taken from pylint's source at this line,

• the default CONST_VAR regex taken from pylint's source at this line

and joining them by | and some parentheses.

Theoretically, you could also just take .*, but this would allow even invalid names like mixed_CASE.
