Blarghs Rule of Programming #666

2013-01-31 16:53:08.182435+01 by ebwolf 0 comments

Never disable error messages in your static code checker. The people who maintain the static code checker probably know more about the cause and consequences of labeling something an error versus a warning versus not reporting at all. If it's an error, it's likely always a bad thing.

Found in the team .pylintrc:

disable E1101

E1101 is what you get when you make a typo in a function name from another module. I'm just glad I checked my email last night before bed and was able to fix my stupid mistake that was holding up the regression testing.
