exclude_lines in .coveragerc not being respected

[nedbat]

I don't use lcov much, how do I get the genhtml tool? This issue might be particular to lcov/genhtml. When I use coverage html, I get an html report that excludes the import lines.

BTW, this isn't related to your problem, but you don't want to use import as an exclude_lines setting, because it will exclude any line with that word in it, including things like important_value = critical_work(). You want a more specific regex, like ^import\b.

genhtml is downloaded from brew install lcov. https://github.com/linux-test-project/lcov/blob/master/bin/genhtml and it's a tool to help visualize lcov files. Here's the lcov content:

You're right that it's only reproable on lcov which is the coverage format that we use. I would be happy to create a PR to address this. Would you be willing to accept patches to coverage==6.4.1?
