Plugin configuration options

File permissions when using os.open

Since version 1.3.0 you can control whether this plugin favors os.open over the builtin open function when opening files.

    [tool.pylint.plugins]
    os-open-mode = '0'            # check disabled
    os-open-mode = '0o000'        # check disabled
    os-open-mode = '493'          # all modes from 0 to 0o755
    os-open-mode = '0o755'        # all modes from 0 to 0o755
    os-open-mode = '0o755,'       # only 0o755
    os-open-mode = '0o644,0o755'  # only 0o644 and 0o755

You can also specify this option directly on the command line:

python3 -m pylint --load-plugins=pylint_secure_coding_standard --os-open-mode='0o755'
