Unable to import error from pylint
Hi! This is probably a FAQ, but I cannot find it anywhere in the docs. I get a F0401 (Unable to import) when importing a flask external module, which involves a trick on __init__ on the parent package to locate the actual module, which has a different name (flask.ext.httpauth is in fact flask_httpauth, with no package name). I understand that pylint avoids executing code on imports, so that explains this message. The question would be: is there a way to fix this situation without ignoring everything that uses that module? Adding an 'import flask.ext.httpauth' in the init-hook does not seem to solve it. Thanks! -- MartÃn Ferrari (Tincho)

Hi there, This might be of interest to you: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16061514/pylint-pylint-unable-to-import-f... Alternatively, there is no good way for you to do this (that I'm aware of) other than ignoring things that use flask.ext.* Cheers, Ian
