Package: pylint Version: 1.9.4-1 Severity: important Hi there,
pylint depends on python-astroid >= 1.4.5, but this doesn't seem to be strict enough. With my frankenstein system (mostly stable, with some packages from sid), running "pylint" gets me the attached traceback, which ends with AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'extract_node' Searching for the error message found me this bug report: https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint/issues/1270 which I think implies that the problem should be fixed by upgrading python-astroid to 1.5.0. I just upgraded mine locally to 1.6.5-3 (which is the version currently in sid) and everything now works again. This won't cause problems for people tracking unstable (or the next release) for all packages, but is an issue if a user has pinned most packages to stable and is trying to pull newer versions of (say) just some Python dev packages. The "correct" fix is probably to add a dependency on version 1.5.0 of python-astroid, but I don't know whether there is any other feature we require that appeared between 1.5.0 and 1.6.5. It might be easier just to depend on 1.6.5.
