Question

I’m trying out pylint to check my source code for conventions. Somehow some variable names are matched with the regex for constants (const-rgx) instead of the variable name regex (variable-rgx). How to match the variable name with variable-rgx? Or should I extend const-rgx with my variable-rgx stuff?

e.g.
C0103: 31: Invalid name 'settings' (should match (([A-Z_][A-Z1-9_]*)|(__.*__))$)

Answer 1

Somehow some variable names are matched with the regex for constants (const-rgx) instead of the variable name regex (variable-rgx).

Are those variables declared on module level? Maybe that’s why they are treated as constants (at least that’s how they should be declared, according to PEP-8).
