cubicweb #1382559 [pylint] supress most errors [waiting feedback]

There are an awfull lot of spurious errors/warnings signaled by pylint on cw. Most of them should be shut down. The current situation impairs proper pylint use on cw/cubes (in conjunction with emacs/flymake for instance).

Do you mean on CW core or on cubes?

I would really like a pylint plugin for cubes. The main idea would be to use the information in the yams schema to know which attributes are available on an Entity, and knowing a few things about selectors so that for instance a plain __select__ = is_instance('Frobble') means that entity will be of the given type. Bonus point for using information about the cardinalities in the schema and warn about self.some_relation[0] used on 1 to many relations.

  I was thinking about, e.g.:
  - selectors
  - self._cw
  - self.eidto/eidfrom/rtype/entity in hooks
  - log methods
  There are certainly a bunch of other offenders.
  
  But I also agree with you suggestion (that may be more broad in scope and less trivial to implement).

    a broad scope can easily be split in manageable chunks :-)

the first one comes from objectify_selector usage and appears to be tricky to fix 'as is'

This ticket is "in progress" but there is no associated patch. Moving to "waiting for feedback"
