[Python-projects] pylint and function attributes

[Jürgen Hermann]

Hi, found another problem with pylint 0.18.0 and no open ticket for it -- basically, pylint doesn't understand function attributes at all. In 0.14, you always got the warning (which I ignored so far), now you also get an error (see below).

> cat test.py
"test"
def test():
    "test"
    print test.bar
test.bar = 1
test()

> python test.py
1

> pylint -rn test.py
************* Module test
E:  4:test: Class 'test' has no 'bar' member
W:  5: Unused variable 'bar'

> pylint --version
pylint 0.18.0,
astng 0.19.0, common 0.39.0
