I have files scratch.py which are somewhat like a poor man's notebook,
with random snippets of code which persist from session to session.
flymake using pylint will flag most lines in such files.

So I have this in my .emacs:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(eval-when-compile (defvar flymake-proc-ignored-file-name-regexps))
(eval-after-load "flymake"
  '(add-to-list 'flymake-proc-ignored-file-name-regexps '"/scratch"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

(I know it's ugly, please see
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2012-09/msg00199.html for
discussion).

Thanks.
