[Python-apps-team] Bug#580637: pylint breaks if it has a configuration file (~/.pylintrc)

[Thomas Nilsson]

Package: pylint
Version: 0.20.0-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pylint", line 4, in <module>
    lint.Run(sys.argv[1:])
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/pylint/lint.py", line 861, in __init__
    linter.load_config_file()
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/logilab/common/configuration.py", line 637, in load_config_file
    provider.set_option(option, value, optdict=optdict)
TypeError: set_option() got an unexpected keyword argument 'optdict'

Changing set_option function definitions from opt_dict=None to optdict=None
resolves this. I have not investigated if set_option could be provided
by anything outside of pylint.
