config for pyproject.toml

[jdhao]

This is what is working for me:

[tool.pylint.main]
init-hook ="""
try:
  import pylint_venv
except ImportError:
  pass
else:
  pylint_venv.inithook()
"""

The config in readme does not work due to parsing issues. Test on pylint 2.17.2

The config in the README is intended for the .pylintrc file, not pyproject.toml. Did you verify that there is indeed a problem with the given .pylintrc config independent of configuration via pyproject.toml?

Thanks jdhao, this worked for me as well.

The config in the README is intended for the .pylintrc file, not pyproject.toml.

Maybe classifying this issue as a documentation request (rather then a parsing error) is the way to go? I'm not sure how ubiquitous pyproject.toml is becoming elsewhere, but I am using it on new projects. I appreciate that I could cut & paste the code provided rather then having to translate .pylintrc to .toml - I don't work with .pylintrc very often. It would be better if I was cutting and pasting from an official source instead of an issue report. imho.

@Ash8888 fair point, would you be willing to prepare a PR?
