Is this pylint warning a bug?

Question

Three tiny Python 3 files are required:

python3 sub.py (and also python2) prints the word data as expected, but pylint warns when checking sub.py:

E: 1,20: Module 'main' has no 'config' member (no-member)

I have no explanation for it.

Are these all in the same folder? I'm wondering if there is some sort of absolute import vs relative import mix-up that PyLint is stumbling on. — SethMMorton, Jun 24 '17 at 19:14
@SethMMorton Yes, they are in the same folder. No other files are present. — VPfB, Jun 24 '17 at 19:25
Do you call PyLint from within that folder or from the parent folder? Does it work one way and not the other? — SethMMorton, Jun 24 '17 at 19:27
@SethMMorton I have tried both ways and there is no difference. — VPfB, Jun 24 '17 at 19:39

pylint doesn't load any C extensions by default, because those can run arbitrary code.

method: create a new file named .pylintrcin your project root dir and paste this:

extension-pkg-whitelist=PyQt5

then it will work.
