[Python-projects] Bug in pylint: crash when parsing "import matplotlib.figure"

[Huurne, Maarten ter]

> Problem persists with 0.15.2, exactly the same error.

Did you also try upgrading logilab-astng and logilab-common? A lot of the work of pylint is actually done by ASTNG.

Your test program works fine here:
$ pylint -rn testcase.py
No config file found, using default configuration
************* Module testcase
C:  1: Missing docstring
W:  1: Unused import threading
W:  2: Unused import Figure

$ pylint --version
No config file found, using default configuration
pylint 0.15.2,
astng 0.17.4, common 0.36.1
