hi everybody, I have a checker name webapp.py in my current directory. When I used pylint with param —load-plugins webapp, i got an errer like this: webapp None Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/pylint", line 11, in <module> sys.exit(run_pylint()) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pylint/__init__.py", line 23, in run_pylint Run(sys.argv[1:]) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pylint/lint.py", line 1193, in __init__ linter.load_plugin_modules(self._plugins) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pylint/lint.py", line 469, in load_plugin_modules module = load_module_from_name(modname) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/astroid/modutils.py", line 135, in load_module_from_name return load_module_from_modpath(dotted_name.split('.'), path, use_sys) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/astroid/modutils.py", line 178, in load_module_from_modpath mp_file, mp_filename, mp_desc = imp.find_module(part, path) ImportError: No module named webapp first line is variable part, path in the method astroid.modutils.load_module_from_modpath Then I changed the method pylint.lint.load_plugin_modules like this and it well works well. My pylint version is 1.4.0 and astroid version is 1.3.2, os is Mac 10.10. Maybe it’s a bug need to fixed.
