[Bug 340411] [NEW] pylint man page refers to "The current PYLINTHOME is /home/syt/.pylint.d"

[Rory McCann]

Public bug reported:

Look at the man page for pylint, specifically the environmental
variables option, which reads as follows.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       The following environment variables are used :
           * PYLINTHOME
           path to the directory where data of persistent run will be stored.  If  not  found,  it  defaults  to
       ~/.pylint.d/   or   .pylint.d   (in   the   current  working  directory)  .  The  current  PYLINTHOME  is
       /home/syt/.pylint.d.
           * PYLINTRC
           path to the configuration file. If not found, it will use the first  existant  file  in  ~/.pylintrc,
       /etc/pylintrc. The current PYLINTRC is None.

It refers to the PYLINTHOME as  /home/syt/.pylint.d, which is not a
directory on my computer. I assume it's the authors home directory. If
the man page can't figure out the PYLINTHOME directory, then it
shouldn't include that sentance in the man page


$ dpkg -l | grep pylint
ii  pylint                                     0.14.0-2.1                                           python code static checker
