PyLint bad-whitespace Configuration

Question

Is there a way to configure the checks for the bad-whitespace checks in PyLint? I can currently disable checking but I would much rather enforce a whitespace convention instead of disabling it.

There are two options you could use:

Globally disable the bad-whitespace warning:
```
pylint --disable=C0326
```
Use a Pylint configuration file:
```
pylint --rcfile=/path/to/config.file
```
This is what you would put in the config file to disable the bad-whitespace warning:
```
disable=C0326
```

The .pylintrc file does offer limited editing of whitespace rules, using the attribute no-space-check:

# List of optional constructs for which whitespace checking is disabled. `dict-
# separator` is used to allow tabulation in dicts, etc.: {1  : 1,\n222: 2}.
# `trailing-comma` allows a space between comma and closing bracket: (a, ).
# `empty-line` allows space-only lines.
no-space-check=

Might be more options in the near-future, though.

Pylint 2.6: The no-space-check option has been removed, it's no longer possible to consider empty line like a trailing-whitespace by using clever options http://pylint.pycqa.org/en/latest/whatsnew/2.6.html . – Robertas Jan 02 '21 at 13:42

The ID of bad-whitespace convention check is C0326 from pylint 1.1.0 onwards. You can use this code in the .pylintrc config file to enable/disable the bad-whitespace check.

[MESSAGES CONTROL]
enable=C0326

or

[MESSAGES CONTROL]
disable=C0326
