This may already be a reported bug, but then i need help in finding that issue. 

Situation: 

I invoke pylint with :

from pylint.lint import Run

...

files = [ 'subdir/a.py', 'b.py' ]

## To keep separate records of each file

Problem: 

both files have this import

import  config.tc 

It runs well because the module config is in the sys.path when run. 

But pylint reports for subdir/a.py AND b.py

If I revers the order of the files pylint reports OK for BOTH, probably because config.tc matches the path from root directory of b.py, and then when I check subdir/a.py, pylint somehow have a memory of the import. 

Run totally separately, only subdir/a.py reports problem with the import of config.tc. 

I don't want the order of the files to matter due to that pylint keeps a memory of the previous files imports and search paths. How do I clean out the imports between the files?
