Generates an HTML report summarizing the results of pylint (see documentation).

The recommended way to install pylint-report is using

pip install pylint-report

or, for a development version (with all optional dependencies):

pip install pylint-report[dev]

Place the following in .pylintrc

[MASTER]
load-plugins=pylint_report

[REPORTS]
output-format=pylint_report.CustomJsonReporter

or place the following in pyproject.toml

[tool.pylint.MASTER]
load-plugins = "pylint_report"

[tool.pylint.REPORTS]
output-format = "pylint_report.CustomJsonReporter"

or manually pass the --load-plugins and --output-format flags.

• A two-step approach:
  • pylint path/to/code > report.json: generate a (custom) json file using pylint
  • pylint_report.py report.json -o report.html: generate html report
• Or alternatively pylint path/to/code | pylint_report > report.html
