The following function definition gives an "invalid syntax" message from pylint, while this is valid afaik. It runs as intended.

#!python

def compose(*subactions, name='', docs=''):
    pass

Here is some version info:

#!bash

$ pylint --version
No config file found, using default configuration
pylint 1.1.0, 
astroid 1.0.1, common 0.61.0
Python 3.3.5 (default, Mar 12 2014, 02:04:59) 
[GCC 4.6.3]

I can't reproduce using:

#!python

__main__.py 1.2.0,
astroid 1.1.0, common 0.61.0
Python 3.4.0 (v3.4.0:04f714765c13, Mar 16 2014, 19:24:06) [MSC v.1600 32 bit (Intel)]

Could you provide more details?

I use vim along with syntastic to have in-editor error checking. Just discovered that when I run pylint from commandline I don't get the error either. I guess I should report this to the syntastic dev then.

Thanks for your reply!

this is much probably because vim uses python2 version of pylint
