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

I had the same issue here, even with the latest versions of all related packages (astroid 1.3.2, logilab_common 0.63.2, pylon 1.4.0).

The following solution worked like a charm: I added numpy to the list of ignored modules by modifying my pylintrc file, in the [TYPECHECK] section:

[TYPECHECK]

ignored-modules = numpy

Depending on the error, you might also need to add the following line (still in the [TYPECHECK] section):

ignored-classes = numpy
