Motivation and Context
Pylint version 2.10 has a bug when trying to create its cache directory: pylint-dev/pylint#4900. This causes an error message to be displayed to students, which is confusing.
Your Changes
Description: While this was fixed in Pylint version 2.11, we're currently pinned to Pylint 2.10, so I backported the fix directly into our code for now. (It will be removed at the next major release of PythonTA.)
Type of change (select all that apply):
Testing
Verified that the pylint cache directory gets created, even when its parent directory doesn't exist.
