* Recurse into all the ancestors when checking if an object is an exception
Since we were going only into the first level, we weren't inferring
when a class used a metaclass which defined a base Exception class
for the aforementioned class.
* Do not crash when printing the help of options with default regular
expressions
* More granular versions for deprecated modules.
* Do not crash in docparams when we can't infer the exception types.
Closes#1632.
new: mccabe
new: isort
deleted: colorama
astroid 1.4.7
-------------
* Stop saving assignment locals in ExceptHandlers, when the context is a store.
This fixes a tripping case, where the RHS of a ExceptHandler can be redefined
by the LHS, leading to a local save. For instance, ``except KeyError, exceptions.IndexError``
could result in a local save for IndexError as KeyError, resulting in potential unexpected
inferences. Since we don't lose a lot, this syntax gets prohibited.
pylint 1.6.0
------------
* Added a new extension, `pylint.extensions.mccabe`, for warning
about complexity in code.
* Deprecate support for --optimize-ast.
* Deprecate support for the HTML output.
* Deprecate support for --output-files.
* Fixed a documentation error for the check_docs extension.
* Made the list of property-defining decorators configurable.
* Fix a bug where the top name of a qualified import was detected as unused variable.
* bad-builtin is now an extension check.
* generated-members support qualified name through regular expressions.
For instance, one can specify a regular expression as --generated-members=astroid.node_classes.*
for ignoring every no-member error that is accessed as in `astroid.node_classes.missing.object`.
* Add the ability to ignore files based on regex matching, with the new ``--ignore-patterns``
option.
This allows for multiple ignore patterns to be specified. Rather than
clobber the existing ignore option, we introduced a new one called
ignore-patterns.
* Added a new error, 'trailing-newlines', which is emitted when a file
has trailing new lines.
* Add a new option, 'redefining-builtins-modules', for controlling the modules
which can redefine builtins, such as six.moves and future.builtins.
* 'reimported' is emitted when the same name is imported from different module.
* Add a new recommendation checker, 'consider-iterating-dictionary', which is emitted
which is emitted when a dictionary is iterated through .keys().
* Use the configparser backport for Python 2
This fixes a problem we were having with comments inside values, which is fixed
in Python 3's configparser.
* A new error was added, 'invalid-length-returned', when the `__len__`
special method returned something else than a non-negative number.
* Switch to using isort internally for wrong-import-order.
* check_docs extension can find constructor parameters in __init__.
* Don't warn about invalid-sequence-index if the indexed object has unknown base
classes.
* Don't crash when checking, for super-init-not-called, a method defined in an if block.
* Do not emit import-error or no-name-in-module for fallback import blocks by default.
Until now, we warned with these errors when a fallback import block (a TryExcept block
that contained imports for Python 2 and 3) was found, but this gets cumbersome when
trying to write compatible code. As such, we don't check these blocks by default,
but the analysis can be enforced by using the new ``--analyse-fallback-block`` flag.
pylint 1.6.1
------------
* Use environment markers for supporting conditional dependencies.
pylint:
* config files with BOM markers can now be read.
* epylint.py_run does not crash on big files, using .communicate()
instead of .wait()
astroid:
* Fix a crash which occurred when the class of a namedtuple could not be
inferred.
* Functional form of enums support accessing values through __call__.
* Brain tips for the ssl library.
While this makes things a little more complicated and means we'll need to use
`-r` to recreate tox environments, it has several advantages:
- Full support from requires.io (including PRs)
- Workaround for https://bitbucket.org/hpk42/tox/issues/332/ so we can update
virtualenv/pip
