How to ignore file by name in all directories with pylint?

Question

I'd like pylint to ignore all my init.py files. These files exist in all my directories and sometimes also in nested (on several levels) directories.

I have a .pylintrc file.
I tried to set the ignore-patterns options but it does not work.
I tried to do as follow: ignore-patterns=^\w+/__init__.py
but however, it is not working and it would not work for nested files.

Is there any way to do this?

EDIT

---

I set my ignore_patterns like this: ignore-patterns=apps.py,__init__.py

if I have a structure like this:

app 
  __init__.py  
  models
    __init__.py

the file inside models is ignored but not the one inside the app folder...

Is there anyway to do this ?

thanks
