How do I create a pylintrc file

You may put it in:

  • /etc/pylintrc for default global configuration
  • ~/.pylintrc for default user configuration
  • <your project>/pylintrc for default project configuration (used when you’ll run pylint <your project>)
  • wherever you want, then use pylint --rcfile=<wherever I want>

Also notice when generating the rc file, you may add option on the command line before the --generate-rcfile, they will be considered in the generated file.
