How to suppress a warning in one line for pylint and Flake8 at the same time

Question

I would like to ignore a specific line in static code analysis.

For Flake8, I'd use the syntax # noqa: F401.

For pylint, I'd use the syntax # pylint: disable=unused-import.

As I am working on a code generation framework, I would like the code to support both linters. Is there a way to combine both directives such that both of them are correctly detected?

Perhaps you need a space before the second # – Lorenelorens

Thank you @MattClarke. That was a typo in my question. I did mean to include the space around it – Ridglea

Answer 1

both of these combinations work for me:

import os  # noqa: F401 # pylint:disable=unused-import
import sys  # pylint:disable=unused-import # noqa: F401

Answer 2

I was having similar issue. Having used pylint initially, I had that directive first which caused errors. Reversing the order so that flake8 is first worked for me.

# noqa: 501  pylint: disable=unused-argument

There are a couple options:

1. Position the noqa: command first, followed by the Pylint directive:
   # noqa: 501 pylint: disable=unused-argument

2. Position the directives in any order, but make sure they are both preceded by "# ":
   # pylint: disable=unused-argument # noqa: 501

3. If you also want to have a comment on the same line before the directives you need to add another # after the comment:
   # comment # noqa: 501 pylint: disable=unused-argument

For me, it's easiest to think of the # as part of the directive and always include it with each one. Then I don't have to worry about whether or not I need to add an extra one.
