Support a .pylintrc file (max-line-length)

[rizumu]

pylint configuration occurs in the .pyflymakerc, but some options don't seem to be supported such as:

[FORMAT]
max-line-length=120

Adding support for using a .pylintrc would be nice to futher configure pylint, but maybe there is a another way to increse the line length? Suggestions appreciated.

Thanks for your report!

The fork you mentioned doesn't seem to exist any more. Is that patch available elsewhere?

I've just used a ~/.pylintrc file for Pylint settings I want to use globally. This doesn't of course allow per project settings.

I have been using flycheck lately and I've since got the max-line-length working, so I can't say for sure if this problem still exists with flymake-python. I do remember trying various combinations of global and project level .pylintrc's. I'd say you are safe to close this ticket.
