Package: pylint Version: 1.3.1-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
when working in a virtual env, pylint uses system python, not virtualenv python. Possible fix ------------ I believe this can be fixed by changing #!/usr/bin/python into #!/usr/bin/env python in /usr/bin/pylint. However, /usr/bin/pylint and /usr/bin/pylint3 are generated files and I don't know exactly where to make the change. Workaround ---------- Workaround suggested on SO (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17923090/): Use python $(which pylint) instead of just pylint This workaround might not be usable in every IDE pylint plugin. Impacted versions ----------------- This applies to both pylint and pylint3 1.5.2-1 from Stretch as well. It may have been fixed upstream already in a more recent version, I can't tell.
