Running pylint on a file containing variables such as x or l will raise an error, though these variables might be meaningful in the context that they're in.

I could disable all such errors by adding the following to pyproject.toml:

[tool.pylint."MESSAGES CONTROL"] disable = [ "invalid-name"]

But I would prefer to be able to instead explicitly state the variables that I would like to ignore.

While searching for the same issue, I found , which explains that square braces cannot be used. Rather, a comma separated list of values, wrapped in quotes will work:

[tool.pylint.'MESSAGES CONTROL'] max-line-length = 120 disable = "too-many-arguments,not-callable"

Or, triple-quotes can be used for readability with many disable statements:

[tool.pylint.'MESSAGES CONTROL'] max-line-length = 120 disable = """ too-many-arguments, not-callable """

To ignore pylint errors for particular variable names the good-names list can be set within pyproject.toml as follows:

[tool.pylint."MESSAGES CONTROL"] good-names = [ "x", "y", ]

Which will make x and y valid variable names for pylint.
