[python] Python: avoiding pylint warnings about too many arguments

First, one of Perlis's epigrams:

"If you have a procedure with 10 parameters, you probably missed some."

Some of the 10 arguments are presumably related. Group them into an object, and pass that instead.

Making an example up, because there's not enough information in the question to answer directly:

class PersonInfo(object):
  def __init__(self, name, age, iq):
    self.name = name
    self.age = age
    self.iq = iq

Then your 10 argument function:

def f(x1, x2, name, x3, iq, x4, age, x5, x6, x7):
  ...

becomes:

def f(personinfo, x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x7):
  ...

and the caller changes to:

personinfo = PersonInfo(name, age, iq)
result = f(personinfo, x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x7)
