python:S100 Method names should comply with a naming convention

[Felipe Lima]

Hi, My python software uses Qt libraries. Those uses the camel case convention, so every time i need to override a Qt method the S100 rule alerts me of my "wrong doings".
Why does this rules apply to override methods? I'd really like to follow this rule but I don't have control over others libraries.
What should I do?

Hi!

Unfortunately it's hard (or almost impossible if parent class is a library class) to distinguish overriding method to ignore it in this rule. We might ignore all methods in classes which have a parent class but this will produce plenty of lost issues (false negative).

So I see 3 solutions for you:

1) disable the rule

2) update rule parameter to cover both styles

3) add exclusions for this rule http://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/Narrowing+the+Focus#NarrowingtheFocus-IgnoreIssues (Restrict Scope of Coding Rules)
