epylint#

To silently run epylint on a module_name.py module, and get its standard output and error:

from pylint import epylint as lint

(pylint_stdout, pylint_stderr) = lint.py_run('module_name.py', return_std=True)

It is also possible to include additional Pylint options in the first argument to py_run:

from pylint import epylint as lint

(pylint_stdout, pylint_stderr) = lint.py_run('module_name.py --disable C0114', return_std=True)

The options --msg-template="{path}:{line}: {category} ({msg_id}, {symbol}, {obj}) {msg}" and --reports=n are set implicitly inside the epylint module.
