how can pylint msg "too many local variables" be disabled

Question

I am working on eclipse editor and using eclipse plugin pydev. I have also installed pylint plugin. But pylint is throwing me warning messages in some functions like "too many local arguments". I don't want to change my code. Is there any way to disable those warnings, especially this one. I do have a ~/.pylintrc file. What should I add to that file to disable these warning messages.

Answer 1

you can modify the max-locals for local variable and max-args for method arguments in .pylintrc file

[DESIGN]

# Maximum number of locals for function / method body
max-locals=25

# Maximum number of arguments for function / method
max-args=10

from : source

Answer 2

If you need to skip pylint validation for some specific function then add the line (comment)

# pylint: disable-msg=too-many-locals

inside that function. You may add this line right after the function declaration.
