What's New in Pylint 2.4.2?

Release date: 2019-09-30

• ignored-modules can skip submodules. Close #3135

• self-assigning-variable skips class level assignments.

  Close #2930

• consider-using-sys-exit is exempted when exit() is imported from sys

  Close #3145

• Exempt annotated assignments without variable from class-variable-slots-conflict

  Close #3141

• Fix utils.is_error to account for functions returning early.

  This fixes a false negative with unused-variable which was no longer triggered
  when a function raised an exception as the last instruction, but the body of the function
  still had unused variables.

  Close #3028

What's New in Pylint 2.4.1?

Release date: 2019-09-25

• Exempt type checking definitions defined in both clauses of a type checking guard

  Close #3127

• Exempt type checking definitions inside the type check guard

  In a7f236528bb3758886b97285a56f3f9ce5b13a99 we added basic support
  for emitting used-before-assignment if a variable was only defined
  inside a type checking guard (using TYPE_CHECKING variable from typing)
  Unfortunately that missed the case of using those type checking imports
  inside the guard itself, which triggered spurious used-before-assignment errors.

  Close #3119
