How do I get PyLint to recognize numpy members?

Question

I am running PyLint on a Python project. PyLint makes many complaints about being unable to find numpy members. How can I avoid this while avoiding skipping membership check

Answer 1

If using Visual Studio Code with Don Jayamanne's excellent Python extension, add a user setting to whitelist numpy:

{
    // whitelist numpy to remove lint errors
    "python.linting.pylintArgs": [
        "--extension-pkg-whitelist=numpy"
    ]
}
