Path to the pylint executable to use in pylint analysis. Set to empty to use the default one.

It has to be set on Windows, use either masked backslashes or slashes as path separators; examples: C:\\Python26\\Scripts\\pylint.bat or C:/Python/26/Scripts/pylint.bat

Path to the pylint configuration file (relative to project root or absolute) to use in pylint analysis. Set to empty to use the default.

Description / Features

This plugin enables the analysis of Python projects.

Dependencies

This plugin has the following dependencies:

• Pylint must be installed to check Pylint coding rules.

Installation

1. Install the Python plugin through the Update Center
2. Restart Sonar

Usage

You can analyze your project with the different analyzers. Here are properties files examples for the Sonar Runner and Maven.

A list of sample projects is available on github that can be browsed or downloaded:

1. Python project analyzed with the Sonar Runner: /projects/languages/python/python-sonar-runner.
2. Python project analyzed with Maven: /projects/languages/python/python-maven

New coding rules can be added using XPath. See the related documentation.

To navigate the AST, download the SSLR Python Toolkit.
