Configuration
It is suggessted that you configure pylint using pyproject.toml.
Below is an example.
[tool.pylint.master]
unsafe-load-any-extension=no
extension-pkg-whitelist=numpy,cv2
[tool.pylint.typecheck]
ignored-classes=Fysom,MyClass
Similar Lines
Similar lines detection has a high chance of yielding false positives.
It is suggested that you either set min-similarity-lines to a large value
or disable check of similar lines.
Please refer to the issue
The duplicate-code (R0801) can't be disabled
for more discussions.
[tool.pylint.similarities]
min-similarity-lines=11
ignore-docstrings=yes
ignore-comments=yes
ignore-imports=yes
