Thanks. I've checked in a fix in pylint to avoid crash in case where an 
unsupported option is found in the configuration file, and another in 
logilab-common to support callback option such as init-hooks (which was 
causing the crash in your case) in set_option.

interesting. We were not using setuptools until now since we weren't aware 
about this namespace package ability. Thanks to the pointer you gave I've 
checked in setuptools support in logilab subpackages and in pylint so it 
should be easy_installable after the next version is released!
