[Python-projects] list of false negatives

[Simon Schampijer]

Hi Sylvain,

Johan Dahlin has provided a patch for pygobject that sets the 
GObject.__module__ properly to gobject._gobject. Pylint still fails with 
the false errors. What other data does the astng relies on?

If you want to contribute directly to the discussion:

Thanks,
    Simon
