I see your point, I can only reply with what upstream (and I know the subtle line in that) thinks[1] of it: """This is important. In some cases, Pylint will import a module if and only if it cannot find its source, which could lead to failures like crashes from user code or segfault. We should probably give up on this behavior, even if we lose support for inferring certain types of objects, in order to be truly a static checker."""
