Description

Take a boilerplate example from the Django Tables2 docs

import django_tables2 as tables
from .models import Person

class PersonTable(tables.Table):
    class Meta:
        model = Person
        template_name = "django_tables2/bootstrap.html"
        fields = ("name", )

Even with the pylint_django plugin, pylint raises the following complaints for the Meta class

too-few-public-methods
missing-class-docstring

However, other uses of the class Meta syntax do not trigger the same complaints (i.e. for Django's built-in forms/model, DRF's serializers, and Django filter's filtersets). This seems like a missing feature in the plugin to fully support Django Tables2
