PyLint bad-whitespace Configuration

Is there a way to configure the checks for the bad-whitespace checks in PyLint? I can currently disable checking but I would much rather enforce a whitespace convention instead of disabling it.

The .pylintrc file does offer limited editing of whitespace rules, using the attribute no-space-check:

# List of optional constructs for which whitespace checking is disabled. `dict-
# separator` is used to allow tabulation in dicts, etc.: {1  : 1,\n222: 2}.
# `trailing-comma` allows a space between comma and closing bracket: (a, ).
# `empty-line` allows space-only lines.
no-space-check=

Might be more options in the near-future, though.

There are two options you could use:

  1. Globally disable the bad-whitespace warning:

    pylint --disable=C0326

  2. Use a Pylint configuration file:

    pylint --rcfile=/path/to/config.file

    This is what you would put in the config file to disable the bad-whitespace warning:

    disable=C0326

The ID of bad-whitespace convention check is C0326 from pylint 1.1.0 onwards. You can use this code in the .pylintrc config file to enable/disable the bad-whitespace check.

[MESSAGES CONTROL]
enable=C0326

or

[MESSAGES CONTROL]
disable=C0326
