invalid-name C0103 Invalid %s name "%s"%s invalid-name Used when the name doesn't match the regular expression associated to its type (constant, variable, class...).
missing-docstring C0111 Missing %s docstring missing-docstring Used when a module, function, class or method has no docstring.Some special methods like __init__ doesn't necessary require a docstring.

unidiomatic-typecheck C0123 Using type() instead of isinstance() for a typecheck. unidiomatic-typecheck The idiomatic way to perform an explicit typecheck in Python is to use isinstance(x, Y) rather than type(x) == Y, type(x) is Y.

This generates an error, since there are no active exceptions to be reraised. An exception to this rule is represented by a bare raise inside a finally clause, which might work, as long as an exception is raised inside the try block, but it is nevertheless a code smell that must not be relied upon.

This can be misleading, since it's not clear if the context manager returns a tuple or if the node without a name binding is another context manager.
using-constant-test W0125 Using a conditional statement with a constant value using-constant-test Emitted when a conditional statement (If or ternary if) uses a constant value for its test. This might not be what the user intended to do.
lost-exception W0150 %s statement in finally block may swallow exception lost-exception Used when a break or a return statement is found inside the finally clause of a try...finally block: the exceptions raised in the try clause will be silently swallowed instead of being re-raised.
