Pylint ignore specific names [duplicate]

Question

I have a problem with pylint, i.e. sometimes it repeats the same message for some variable/class/module etc. and I can't find a workaround for that. What I want is to say pylint "don't check [message XXX|any message] for variable YYY in [this module|module "ZZZ"]" with some option or rcfile directive.

Answer 1

There's good-names=YYY for this, or for some advanced stuff you can modify the regex via variable-rgx.

Answer 2

According to the docs you enable and disable messages using lines like:

# pylint: disable=W0631

in the python code.
