Is it possible to ignore one single specific line with Pylint?

Pylint message control is documented in the Pylint manual:

Is it possible to locally disable a particular message?

Yes, this feature has been added in Pylint 0.11. This may be done by adding# pylint: disable=some-message,another-oneat the desired block level or at the end of the desired line of code.

You can use the message code or the symbolic names.

For example,

def test():    # Disable all the no-member violations in this function    # pylint: disable=no-member    ...

global VAR # pylint: disable=global-statement

The manual also has further examples.

There is a wiki that documents all Pylint messages and their codes.

import config.logging_settings # pylint: disable=W0611

That was simple and is specific for that line.

You can and should use the more readable form:

import config.logging_settings # pylint: disable=unused-import

Checkout the files in https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint/tree/master/pylint/checkers. I haven't found a better way to obtain the error name from a message than either Ctrl + F-ing those files or using the GitHub search feature:

If the message is "No name ... in module ...", use the search:

No name %r in module %r repo:PyCQA/pylint/tree/master path:/pylint/checkers

Or, to get fewer results:

"No name %r in module %r" repo:PyCQA/pylint/tree/master path:/pylint/checkers

GitHub will show you:

"E0611": (    "No name %r in module %r",    "no-name-in-module",    "Used when a name cannot be found in a module.",

You can then do:

from collections import Sequence # pylint: disable=no-name-in-module
