#pylint bugs and other problems
#E1103: %s %r has no %r member (but some types could not be inferred)
#	This is way too noisy
#W0108: Lambda may not be necessary
#        Not sure how to get rid of things like lambda x:MyClass(x)
#		 Also, sometimes we need lazy evaluation.
#W0404: Reimport of module
#        triggers when you import foo and then foo.bar
#R0904: Too many public methods
#        counts more methods than I can see, maybe includes inherited methods?
#R0922: Abstract class is only referenced 1 times
#        I may be using it in other modules!


#useless nitpicking on style or formatting
#W0105: string statement has no effect
#        comments and stuff
#W0142: use * or ** magic
#		 If I am using it it is likely necessary
#C0301: line too long
#C0321: more than one statement on a single line
#        I use this for "if variable is None: variable=default"
#C0322: Operator not preceded by space
#C0324: Comma not followed by a space
#R: we are not interested in the refactoring category


#W0232: Class has no __init__ method. So what???
#E1001: Use __slots__ in old-style class: this is seldom useful,
#	 and has some false positives (e.g., with collections.namedtuple
#W0212: access to protected memeber:
#	this gives false positives for cases where it is intended
#	(such as collections.namedtuple._asdict)
#	Also it is not very informative since the naming convention speaks for itself.
#W0703: use of % in logging: not recommended,
#       but not a deal-breaker and too pervasive in our code right now


#finally completely disabling R and C classes.
#I0011: locally disabling a warning
#	thank you, I am disabling the warning so you don't show it to me!
#I0012: locally enabling a warning: even more useless
#I0013: disabling all on a file. Yes. Including this one, please?
#E0012: Bad option value.
#       Hits when we use an option value supported by some,
#       but not all, of the pylint versions we use.
#       Typically, this is because option exists in trusty but not in precise.
