[Python-projects] Abstract intermediate class not recognized as such

[skip at pobox.com]

Given this class hierarchy:

    class A(object):
        def methA(self):
            raise NotImplementedError("implement methA in subclass")

    class B(A):
        def methB(self):
            raise NotImplementedError("implement methB in subclass")

    class C(B):
        def methA(self):
            print "methA"

        def methB(self):
            print "methB"

pylint (v 0.14.0, astng 0.17.2, common 0.28.2) complains that B doesn't
provide a definition of methA even though it is itself both a base class for
other classes and defines an unimplemented methB class (both making it a
candidate abstract class).  Seems that pylint should recognize on one count
or both that B doesn't need to provide a definition for methA.

Also, note that the PyPI entry for pylint is still 0.14.0 even though your
latest public release is 0.15.0.
