How to make pylint a part of setup.py test process?

Question

I'm trying to add pylint checking of all .py files to the test process of setuptools (maybe I'm doing something wrong, please correct me). This is what I'm doing in setup.py:

class MyTest(test):
  def run_tests(self):
    import pytest
    import pylint
    if (pylint.run_pylint()):
        sys.exit(-1)
    if (pytest.main(self.test_args)):
        sys.exit(-1)
setup(
  tests_require = ['pytest', 'pylint'],
  cmdclass = {'test': MyTest},
...

)

When I run python setup.py test the output looks broken.. Am I doing it right?

@Joe An exception without a proper pylint report. Need a full text? It's very long... — yegor256, Mar 04 '14 at 19:27
No don't need the full log, but some indication of what error you're seeing would be helpful. — Joe Holloway, Mar 04 '14 at 23:34

Configuration working for me: In setup.py:

setup(
    name='...',
    setup_requires=['pytest-runner', 'pytest-pylint', ...],
    tests_require=['pytest', 'pylint']
    ...
    )

In setup.cfg:

[aliases]
test=pytest

[pytest]
addopts = --pylint --pylint-rcfile=...

Then you can run pylint just by typing:

python setup.py test

[pytest] section in setup.cfg files is deprecated, use [tool:pytest] instead – Pejman Apr 24 '18 at 01:34

If you are already using py.test, you can install pytest-pylint and add this to your setup.cfg:

[tool:pytest]
addopts = --pylint

This requires [pytest-pylint](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytest-pylint) is installed. – AnnanFay Nov 05 '17 at 12:45
