- If set to `1`, ALE will switch to the directory the Python file being

+ If set to `1`, `pylint` will be run from a detected project root, per
+ |ale-python-root|. Since `pylint` only checks for `pylintrc` in the packages
+ above its current directory before falling back to user and global `pylintrc`
+ files, this is necessary for `pylint` to use a project `pylintrc` file, if
+ present. This option can be turned off if you want to control the directory
+ Python is executed from yourself.
