I have to use Python 2.6.6 on linux host and I am trying to use pylint. Available versions I have are 1.9.5 or 1.6.4. But when I am trying to use them I am getting following errors? 

% pylint --version
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "../pylint/1.9.5/ppylint/bin/pylint", line 5, in <module>
from pylint import run_pylint
File "../pylint/__init__.py", line 11, in <module>
from .__pkginfo__ import version as __version__
File "../pylint/__pkginfo__.py", line 25, in <module>
from pkg_resources import parse_version
File "../pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 959, in <module>
class Environment:
File "../pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 963, in Environment
self, search_path=None, platform=get_supported_platform(),
File "../pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 190, in get_supported_platform
plat = get_build_platform()
File "../pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 393, in get_build_platform
from sysconfig import get_platform
ImportError: No module named sysconfig

  • Can this be fixed somehow without removing something from the installation? e.g. I am not allowed to remove files from ../pkg_resources/

  • Is there are some other pylint version compatible with python 2.6.6 that would have the option --msg-template which is mandatory for pydev plugin for eclipse?

Thank you

That is a very old version of Python that is not supported anymore. Doesn't mean it's impossible though.

It reached end of life around October 2013, so a version of pylint released around that time or earlier might be OK for you.

Are you using a virtual environment? That would probably make things a bit easier.

    The `--msg-template` option was introduced in pylint 1.0.0, see the [changelog for pylint 1.0.0](https://pylint.readthedocs.io/en/latest/whatsnew/changelog.html#what-s-new-in-pylint-1-0-0) – sinoroc Oct 31 '19 at 11:27
