Creation of badges?

[bavovanachte]

Would it be a good idea to include the creation of badges in this project as well?

At the moment, I am creating my pylint badges like this (in gitlab):

pylint_full:
  <<: *pylint_setup
  script:
    - pylint --rcfile=pylint.rc src/PSF90372_Test_cases/*.py | tee pylint_score.txt
  after_script:
    - export PYLINT_SCORE=`sed -n 's~Your code has been rated at \([^/]*\).*~\1~p' pylint_score.txt`
    - wget https://img.shields.io/badge/pylint-$PYLINT_SCORE%2F10.0-blue.svg
    - mv *.svg pylint.svg
  allow_failure: true
  artifacts:
    paths:
    - pylint.svg
    when: always

Downsides of this are that:

• It depends on an external service (which could be unstable)
• Is fairly primitive (ATM, I just generate a blue badge, the colour doesn't depend on the score)

@Letme what do you think?

It would be a good idea to integrate it directly into the plugin and there images could easily be chosen. I would put this on enhancement list.

Adding a bit more reference for that wget as this is in fact full blown API service which just works - and can be hosted anywhere 😄 https://github.com/badges/shields
