Pylint alerts corrections as part of an intervention experiment #1017

Open evidencebp opened 3 days ago

evidencebp commented 3 days ago

Pylint alerts are correlated with tendency to bugs and harder maintenance. I'd like to conduct a software engineering experiment regarding the benefit of Pylint alerts removal. The experiment is described here.

In the experiments, Pylint is used with some specific alerts, files are selected for intervention and control. After the interventions are done, one can wait and examine the results.

Your repository is expected to benefit from the interventions. I'm asking for your approval for conducting an intervention in your repository.

See examples of interventions in stanford-oval/storm, gabfl/vault, and coreruleset/coreruleset.

You can see the planed interventions The plan is to do 17 interventions in 13 files The interventions will be of the following types: superfluous-parens: 2 too-many-branches: 7 try-except-raise: 1 unnecessary-pass: 1 too-many-statements: 2 simplifiable-if-statement: 1 broad-exception-caught: 2 too-many-lines: 1

May I do the interventions?
