epylint in emacs using virtualenv

Can't get epylint working. I'm using buildout to generate epylint script. But then I run it from command line it doesn't output anything.

> epylint models.py
> echo $?
0

While if pylint is installed to system (emerge pylint) everything works, except system level linter does not see eggs installed by buildout. Here is my buildout part for eplint:

[epylint]
recipe = zc.recipe.egg
eggs =
    ${buildout:eggs}
    pylint
extra-paths = ${buildout:extra-paths}
entry-points = epylint=pylint.epylint:Run

Would like to get suggestions how I could pin point issue.

Solution

  • This seems to be due to missing pylint script, which epylint calls internally.

    This buildout config works for me:

    [epylint]
recipe = zc.recipe.egg
eggs = pylint
entry-points = epylint=pylint.epylint:Run

[pylint]
recipe = zc.recipe.egg
eggs = pylint
entry-points = pylint=pylint.lint:Run
arguments = sys.argv[1:]

    I needed two parts because pylint.lint:Run and pylint.epylint:Run process command line arguments in different ways.
