blacklisted-name (C0102)

Black listed name "%s" Used when the name is listed in the black list (unauthorized names).

invalid-name (C0103)

%s name "%s" doesn't conform to %s Used when the name doesn't conform to naming rules associated to its type (constant, variable, class...).

missing-docstring (C0111)

Missing %s docstring Used when a module, function, class or method has no docstring.Some special methods like __init__ doesn't necessary require a docstring.

empty-docstring (C0112)

Empty %s docstring Used when a module, function, class or method has an empty docstring (it would be too easy ;).

unneeded-not (C0113)

Consider changing "%s" to "%s" Used when a boolean expression contains an unneeded negation.

Comparison to %s should be %s Used when an expression is compared to singleton values like True, False or None.

Use of eval Used when you use the "eval" function, to discourage its usage. Consider using ast.literal_eval for safely evaluating strings containing Python expressions from untrusted sources.

confusing-with-statement (W0124)

Following "as" with another context manager looks like a tuple. Emitted when a with statement component returns multiple values and uses name binding with as only for a part of those values, as in with ctx() as a, b. This can be misleading, since it's not clear if the context manager returns a tuple or if the node without a name binding is another context manager.

using-constant-test (W0125)

Such calls should leave string interpolation to the logging method itself and be written "logging.<logging method>(format_string, format_args...)" so that the program may avoid incurring the cost of the interpolation in those cases in which no message will be logged. For more, see http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0282/.

logging-format-interpolation (W1202)

Use % formatting in logging functions and pass the % parameters as arguments Used when a logging statement has a call form of "logging.<logging method>(format_string.format(format_args...))".

shallow-copy-environ (W1507)

As a best practice, when disabling linting of a specific error one should use the humand-readable error name rather then the error code.
E.g.: # pylint: disable=no-value-for-parameter is better then # pylint: disable=E1120 because now anyone can understand what is beeing ignored. Unfortunatly yet there is no list of those message names in the official PyLint documentation. One can dump a current list using pylint --list-msgs. This gist is the output from PyLint version 1.9.2.
