Hi all; as mentioned in a previous post, I am looking into updating my curring pylint (1.0.1) to newer pylint 1.4.0.

I've got one significant problem left and I'm not sure how to resolve it: in the new pylint I'm seeing a number of errors like this:

mymod.py:227: [E1101(no-member), MyMod.__str__] Instance of 'int' has no 'get_val' member

Could you give me a small sample to reproduce this problem? If it's not an opened issue with this error, you could open one on our bug tracker, so it won't be lost in mails.

I constructed a small(-ish) test case and created an issue in the tracker: https://bitbucket.org/logilab/pylint/issue/400/pylint-assumes-an-incorrect-m... As mentioned there the problem seems to be that I'm creating an object on a separate thread, asynchronously, based on some content I'm reading over a network socket and then when I try to use the object on the main thread pylint isn't able to deduce the type.
