Seems to be linked to v2.16 of pylint. https://pylint.pycqa.org/en/latest/whatsnew/2/2.16/index.html, with epylint migrated to https://github.com/emacsorphanage/pylint.

Why are we using the emacs version of pylint anyway?

ah ok, so it's because we can then capture the output:

https://pylint.pycqa.org/en/v2.13.9/user_guide/run.html#:~:text=To%20silently%20run%20Pylint%20on,C0114%27%2C%20return_std%3DTrue

Looks like we should migrate over to the new(er) API - https://pylint.pycqa.org/en/v2.16.0/development_guide/api/pylint.html

Expect this to look something like:

from io import StringIO

from pylint.lint import Run
from pylint.reporters.text import TextReporter

pylint_output = StringIO()  # Custom open stream
reporter = TextReporter(pylint_output)

Run(args=["autoredactdevelop", "--rcfile='pyproject.toml'", "--output-format=json"], reporter=reporter, exit=False)

print(pylint_output.getvalue())  # Retrieve and print the text report

I've opened an issue on the pylint repo - pylint-dev/pylint#8164
