I'm writing pyside2 code, using the QAbstractItemModel class. I've subclassed setData. The pyside2 doc says to explicitly emit the changedData signal if this is done. QAbstractItemModel — Qt for Python https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython-5/PySide2/QtCore/QAbstractItemModel.html#subcl... pylint does not see the emit() method and the error needs to be suppressed: self.dataChanged.emit(index, index) # pylint: disable=E1101 { "resource": "xxx/src/main/python/models/mdl_abstbl_banktran.py", "owner": "python", "code": "no-member", "severity": 8, "message": "Method 'dataChanged' has no 'emit' member", "source": "pylint", "startLineNumber": 451, "startColumn": 17, "endLineNumber": 451, "endColumn": 17 } In a message with pyside2 support, they think the emit() member should be findable, being written here https://code.qt.io/cgit/pyside/pyside-setup.git/tree/sources/pyside6/libpysi... Is this an artifact of the python/c++ nature of the pyside implementation? Thanks, Ed
