Got a change for Pylint? Below are a few steps you should take to make sure
your patch gets accepted:
-- We recommend using Python 3.8 or higher for development of Pylint as it gives
- you access to the latest ``ast`` parser.
+- You must use at least Python 3.8 for development of Pylint as it gives
+ you access to the latest ``ast`` parser and some pre-commit hooks do not
+ support python 3.7.
- Install the dev dependencies, see :ref:`contributor_install`.
