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

In recent versions of pylint you can add --extension-pkg-whitelist=numpy to your pylint command. They had fixed this problem in an earlier version in an unsafe way. Now if you want them to look more carefully at a package outside of the standard library, you must explicitly whitelist it. See here.
