Pylint一个可以检查Python代码错误，执行代码规范的工具。它还可以对代码风格提出建议。
官网：https://pylint.readthedocs.io
默认情况，Pylint就已经随着Python安装好。在Python的scripts目录下。
找一段小程序试验一下Pylint，程序很简单。

命令行运行pylint yanghui.py，结果看起来很冗长

‘’‘’Report
=======‘’‘’以上是Pylint对程序的建议，以下都是报告内容。多数时候，我们其实并不想看那么冗长的报告。这时候，体贴的Pylint就让我们屏蔽掉它们。
加上参数 --reports=n 或者更简单写成 -rn 就好了。再看检查结果：
c:\>c:\Python27\Scripts\pylint.exe --reports=n d:\workspace\PyComm\src\Interview
s\yanghui.py
No config file found, using default configuration
************* Module Interviews.yanghui
C: 19, 0: Exactly one space required after comma
for j in range(1,i): #中间元素
^ (bad-whitespace)
C: 21, 0: Exactly one space required after comma
YHTriangle[i].insert(j,YHTriangle[i-1][j-1] + YHTriangle[i-1][j]
)
^ (bad-whitespace)
C: 23, 0: Final newline missing (missing-final-newline)
C: 11, 0: Invalid constant name "YHTriangle" (invalid-name)
建议分三种：“bad-whitespace”, "missing-final-newline", "invalid-name".
前两个好说，加空格，加空行。但是下面这个怎么破？
C: 11, 0: Invalid constant name "YHTriangle" (invalid-name)
命名不规范？认为是个constant值？ 其实可以把这类问题忽略掉。
“Invalid constant name” 错误号是 C0103，所以加上 --disable=C0103即可。
c:\>c:\Python27\Scripts\pylint.exe --reports=n --disable=c0103 d:\workspace\PyCo

没输出就是说名没问题了。
当然，还有更多的参数可以供选择。
=======================华丽丽的分割线===============================
平时写Python，我们几乎都不直接用命令行，而是用集成的IDE工具。比如猫哥常用的PyCharm。
Pylint官方文档提了可以支持PyCharm不过太简略了。
实际操作是这样的：
进入PyCharm，从菜单栏，依次进入： File -> Settings -> Tools -> External Tools。
“+”，进行添加。需要填写的部分分别是：“Name”，“Tool Settings -> Programs”、“Tool Settings -> Parameters”、“Tool Settings -> Working directory”。
注意：
“Parameters”里其它参数不管怎么写，必须在最后加上$FilePath$，“Working directory”里必须写$FileDir。
另外，需要再添加“Output Filter”，在上图中间靠右。填写内容的“Regular expression to match output”，必须是：$FILE_PATH$:$LINE$:最后那个是冒号。
配置完毕，选择一个Python程序，右键点击，快捷菜单中会有“Extensions Tools -> Pylint”，点击运行即可。输出结果在执行程序结果的窗口（IDE下半部分）。
如果看到返回值为0，说明程序没问题了。
C:\Python27\Scripts\pylint.exe --reports=n --disable=C0103 D:\PyCharmSpace\test1\test1\hello.py
