pylint-django is a Pylint plugin for improving code analysis for when analysing code using Django. It is also used by the Prospector tool.
Ensure pylint-django is installed and on your path (pip install pylint-django), and then run pylint:
pylint --load-plugins pylint_django [..other options..]
If you have prospector installed, then pylint-django will already be installed as a dependency, and will be activated automatically if Django is detected.

Model.objectsorViews.request. - Prevents warnings when using
ForeignKeyattributes ("Instance of ForeignKey has no member"). - Fixes pylint's knowledge of the types of Model and Form field attributes

Model.__unicode__methods. Metainformational classes on forms and models do not generate errors.
