I have a very large project with deeply nested hierarchies. To find the root directory I use a source root walker and append the root directory to sys.path. This way, I can easily import things in the project relative to the root directory. The problem is that pylint doesn't detect this, even though I have a method which appends the path imported in the files where the path is used. So all my imports are marked as F0401 <http://pylint-messages.wikidot.com/messages:f0401>: Unable to import.
Is there any way to avoid this error message by getting pylint to understand sys.path?
The __init__.py that is imported in files that need imports relative to the root directory:
import os import sys
def find_repo_rootdir(): def __check_parent(topdir): for _, _, files in os.walk(topdir): if '.THIS_IS_ROOT' in files: return topdir else: next_ = topdir.rsplit("/", 1) if len(next_) == 2: return __check_parent(next_[0]) else: return None return __check_parent(os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)))
repo_root = find_repo_rootdir() if repo_root is not None and repo_root not in sys.path: sys.path.append(repo_root)
