[Python-projects] Pylint: bugreport: unhandled ImportError

[Michał Kwiatkowski]

Hi,

Consider this simple directory structure:

$ find
.
./foo
./foo/bar
./foo/bar/module.py
./foo/bar/__init__.py

Both __init__.py and module.py can be empty files. Now, when executing
pylint like in example below causes an unhandled ImportError and
scoring of a package is terminated:

$ pylint foo/bar/
No config file found, using default configuration
************* Module
C:  0: Invalid name "" (should match (([a-z_][a-z0-9_]*)|([A-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]+))$)
C:  0: Missing docstring
C:  0: Missing required attribute "__revision__"
