Prospector vs running pylint/pycodestyle/mypy/etc individually?
Looking into it, I'm surprised as well. They're also both PyCQA projects, albeit with different maintainers. It's also kind of odd that prospector's pre-commit config runs both prospector and flake8 -- that seems redundant.

W1203: logging-fstring-interpolation (Solved)
A little introduction about pylint. Pylint is a static code analyzer, it analyses your code without actually running it. Pylint looks for potential errors, gives suggestions on coding standards that your code is not adhering to, potential places where refactoring might help, and also warnings about smelly code.

Improve your Django Code with pre-commit
One last thing to do before running the hooks is to create a config file, just like we did with flake8. For this you are going to create a pylintrc file at the roor of your project and copy the contents of the pylintrc file from the pylint repo (here is the link to it).
