Inline ignore comments let you suppress specific violations on individual lines using # pnl: ignore.

Ignore All Rules on a Line¶

Add # pnl: ignore at the end of a line to suppress all pnl violations reported for that line:

x: int = 1  # pnl: ignore

Any rule that would have flagged the name on this line is silenced. This is the broadest form of suppression — use it when multiple rules apply and you want to silence all of them at once.

Ignore a Specific Rule on a Line¶

To suppress only one rule, specify the rule name after =:

x: int = 1  # pnl: ignore=attribute-matches-type

Only the attribute-matches-type rule is suppressed on this line. Any other rules that match this line will still report violations.

The rule name must exactly match the name field defined in your config:

rules:
  - name: attribute-matches-type   # This is the name to use in ignore comments
    type: variable
    filter: { target: attribute }
    naming: { source: type_annotation, transform: snake_case }

Ignore Multiple Specific Rules on a Line¶

To suppress more than one rule on the same line, list rule names separated by commas:

x: int = 1  # pnl: ignore=attribute-matches-type,constant-upper-case

Both attribute-matches-type and constant-upper-case are suppressed on this line. There is no space around the commas.

Practical Examples¶

Suppressing a legacy attribute name that doesn't match its type:

class UserService:
    repo: UserRepository  # pnl: ignore=attribute-matches-type

Suppressing a constant that follows a third-party naming convention:

# Required by the framework to be this exact name
default_app_config = "myapp.apps.MyAppConfig"  # pnl: ignore=constant-upper-case

Suppressing all rules on a generated or protocol-required name:

def __repr__(self) -> str:  # pnl: ignore
    ...
