Change default python coding style

Question:

In python i’m following camelCase Naming style. I checked my code with “pylint” and it gives error for not following lower_case_with_underscores style. Also i use netBeans IDE for coding. This IDE gives warning for not following lower_case_with_underscores style.

How to tell pylint and netBeans that i’m following camelCase naming style, not lower_case_with_underscores??

Thanks.

Answers:

Use pylint --generate-rcfile > ~/.pylintrc to get a standard pylintrc.

Edit the file, go to the [BASIC] section, and change the following regexps:

  • function-rgx=_?_?[a-z][A-Za-z0-9]{1,30}$
  • method-rgx=_?_?[a-z][A-Za-z0-9]{1,30}$
  • attr-rgx=_?_?[a-z][A-Za-z0-9]{1,30}$
  • argument-rgx=_?[a-z][A-Za-z0-9]{1,30}$
  • variable-rgx=_?[a-z][A-Za-z0-9]{1,30}$
  • inlinevar-rgx=_?[a-z][A-Za-z0-9]{1,30}$

You may also want to change module-rgx while you are at it, and look around for other settings that you may want to customize to suite your style.

for netbeans 8.0.2 …

Tools –> Options –> Editor –> Hints –> Python –> Naming Conventions –> Functions –> mixedCase

Accepted answer is outdated. Now its much simpler:

Use pylint --generate-rcfile > ~/.pylintrc to get a standard pylintrc.

Edit the file, go to the [BASIC] section, and change the different ...-naming-styles to camelCase.

In VS-Code use this settings.json entry to have variable naming style and function naming style set to "camelCase",

    "pylint.args": [
      "--variable-naming-style=camelCase",
      "--function-naming-style=camelCase"
    ]

choose arguments as per your requirements,
