pylint flymake mode doesn't work

Asked by Nikolaus Rath

I'm trying to get the pylint flymake mode to work. However, when selecting the corresponding entry in the "PyTools"menu, nothing happens at all. When I looked into the source code, I found that the effect of the menu entry is to just add (".py'" flymake-pylint) to flymake-allowed-file-name-masks. However, a function "flymake-pylint" doesn't seem to exist anywhere.

Am I doing something wrong? Or has this just not been implemented yet?

The menu calls pylint-flymake-mode which is provided:

(defun pylint-flymake-mode ()
   "Toggle `pylint' `flymake-mode'. "
   (interactive)
   (if flymake-mode
       ;; switch off
       (flymake-mode)
     (py-toggle-flymake-intern "pylint" "pylint")
     (flymake-mode)))

Nonetheless, seems broken currently. Linked a bug-report.
