Some checks of Pylint are depending on whether the checked source code is of kind Python 2 or Python 3. E.g., see How to avoid Pylint warnings for constructor of inherited class in Python 3?.
In my setup I run Pylint on a development server, which is using Python 2.7. However, I use Pylint to automatically check Python 3 code on each commit.
How can I configure Pylint to perform checking for Python 3, even if it runs under Python 2?
