+pylint
+======
+
+`pylint <https://www.pylint.org/>`__ is a popular linter for python. It is now the default python
+linter in VS Code.
+
+Please note that we also have :ref:`Flake8` available as a linter.
+
+Run Locally
+-----------
+
+The mozlint integration of pylint can be run using mach:
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+
+ $ mach lint --linter pylint <file paths>
+
+
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+To enable pylint on new directory, add the path to the include
+section in the `pylint.yml <https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/tools/lint/pylint.yml>`_ file.
+
+We enabled the same Pylint rules as `VS Code <https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/linting#_pylint>`_.
+See in `pylint.py <https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/tools/lint/python/pylint.py>`_ for the full list
