Firstly, this error is relevant only if you're intending to use python3 with the pylint style checker. If not, you can safely ignore it.

If you do wish to use pyint ... I'd like to confirm that the pylint options were correctly set up during the install. What's the output from the command

cat /etc/pylintrc

?

cat /etc/pylintrc
[MASTER]

A comma-separated list of package or module names from where C extensions may

be loaded. Extensions are loading into the active Python interpreter and may

run arbitrary code.

extension-pkg-allow-list=

A comma-separated list of package or module names from where C extensions may

be loaded. Extensions are loading into the active Python interpreter and may

run arbitrary code. (This is an alternative name to extension-pkg-allow-list

for backward compatibility.)

extension-pkg-whitelist=

Return non-zero exit code if any of these messages/categories are detected,

even if score is above --fail-under value. Syntax same as enable. Messages

specified are enabled, while categories only check already-enabled messages.

fail-on=

Specify a score threshold to be exceeded before program exits with error.

fail-under=10.0

Files or directories to be skipped. They should be base names, not paths.

ignore=CVS

Add files or directories matching the regex patterns to the ignore-list. The

regex matches against paths.

ignore-paths=

Files or directories matching the regex patterns are skipped. The regex

matches against base names, not paths.

ignore-patterns=

Python code to execute, usually for sys.path manipulation such as

pygtk.require().

#init-hook=

Use multiple processes to speed up Pylint. Specifying 0 will auto-detect the

number of processors available to use.

jobs=1

Control the amount of potential inferred values when inferring a single

object. This can help the performance when dealing with large functions or

complex, nested conditions.

limit-inference-results=100

List of plugins (as comma separated values of python module names) to load,

usually to register additional checkers.

load-plugins=

Pickle collected data for later comparisons.

persistent=yes

When enabled, pylint would attempt to guess common misconfiguration and emit

user-friendly hints instead of false-positive error messages.

suggestion-mode=yes

Allow loading of arbitrary C extensions. Extensions are imported into the

active Python interpreter and may run arbitrary code.

unsafe-load-any-extension=no

[MESSAGES CONTROL]

Only show warnings with the listed confidence levels. Leave empty to show

all. Valid levels: HIGH, INFERENCE, INFERENCE_FAILURE, UNDEFINED.

confidence=

Disable the message, report, category or checker with the given id(s). You

can either give multiple identifiers separated by comma (,) or put this

option multiple times (only on the command line, not in the configuration

file where it should appear only once). You can also use "--disable=all" to

disable everything first and then reenable specific checks. For example, if

you want to run only the similarities checker, you can use "--disable=all

--enable=similarities". If you want to run only the classes checker, but have

no Warning level messages displayed, use "--disable=all --enable=classes

--disable=W".

Enable the message, report, category or checker with the given id(s). You can

either give multiple identifier separated by comma (,) or put this option

multiple time (only on the command line, not in the configuration file where

it should appear only once). See also the "--disable" option for examples.

enable=c-extension-no-member

[REPORTS]

Python expression which should return a score less than or equal to 10. You

have access to the variables 'error', 'warning', 'refactor', and 'convention'

which contain the number of messages in each category, as well as 'statement'

which is the total number of statements analyzed. This score is used by the

global evaluation report (RP0004).

evaluation=10.0 - ((float(5 * error + warning + refactor + convention) / statement) * 10)

Template used to display messages. This is a python new-style format string

used to format the message information. See doc for all details.

#msg-template=

Set the output format. Available formats are text, parseable, colorized, json

and msvs (visual studio). You can also give a reporter class, e.g.

mypackage.mymodule.MyReporterClass.

output-format=text

Tells whether to display a full report or only the messages.

reports=no

Activate the evaluation score.

score=no

[REFACTORING]

Maximum number of nested blocks for function / method body

max-nested-blocks=5

Complete name of functions that never returns. When checking for

inconsistent-return-statements if a never returning function is called then

it will be considered as an explicit return statement and no message will be

printed.

never-returning-functions=sys.exit,argparse.parse_error

[MISCELLANEOUS]

List of note tags to take in consideration, separated by a comma.

notes=FIXME,
XXX,
TODO

character used as a quote delimiter is used inconsistently within a module.

on implicit string concatenation in sequences defined over several lines.

check-str-concat-over-line-jumps=no

[TYPECHECK]

system, and so shouldn't trigger E1101 when accessed. Python regular

mixin class is detected if its name ends with "mixin" (case insensitive).

ignore-mixin-members=yes

Tells whether to warn about missing members when the owner of the attribute

is inferred to be None.

ignore-none=yes

This flag controls whether pylint should warn about no-member and similar

checks whenever an opaque object is returned when inferring. The inference

can return multiple potential results while evaluating a Python object, but

some branches might not be evaluated, which results in partial inference. In

that case, it might be useful to still emit no-member and other checks for

the rest of the inferred objects.

ignore-on-opaque-inference=yes

for classes with dynamically set attributes). This supports the use of

qualified names.

(useful for modules/projects where namespaces are manipulated during runtime

and thus existing member attributes cannot be deduced by static analysis). It

[trampgeek]

There was a bug in pylint 2.10 relating to the cache directory. See pylint-dev/pylint#4900. What's the output from

pylint --version

?

And you do realise that this is only relevant if you want to use pylint for style checking python, right? We're actually switching to use ruff instead, so you could also consider that option.
