It solves a specific problem: when using deprecated flask.ext.* style imports, Pylint would normally report false-positive errors because it cannot resolve those import paths. The plugin intercepts these imports and translates them into their actual module names so Pylint can continue checking the rest of your code without spurious errors.\n\nThe plugin works by building its own abstract syntax tree transformations during Pylint's analysis phase. It requires no runtime dependencies and integrates directly into Pylint's plugin system via the --load-plugins flag. However, the project has been abandoned since early 2019, with no updates for over 4 years, and its Python version support is limited to versions 2.7 through 3.5.","worth_installing":"No. The project is abandoned (last release 2019-01-30, last commit 2022-07-19) with no Python version support beyond 3.5. Modern Flask projects should use direct imports (e.g., from flask_wtf import Form) rather than the deprecated flask.ext.* pattern. If you are maintaining legacy code with flask.ext.* imports, verify compatibility with your current Python and Pylint versions before installing, as the plugin is unlikely to receive updates for new tool versions."},"id":"pylint-flask","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pylint-flask","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pylint-flask.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pylint-flask/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2019-01-30","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"pylint-flask","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"pylint-flask is a Pylint plugin to aid Pylint in recognizing and understanding errors caused when using Flask"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":219983,"position":9316,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.6"}
