Support for Python.NET #159

Open pylint-bot opened 8 years ago

pylint-bot commented 8 years ago

Originally reported by: Benedikt Reinartz (BitBucket: filmor, GitHub: @filmor?)

Currently, it is not possible to properly use pylint on modules using .NET classes through Python.NET, as the imports fail. This is due to modutils.find_from_modpath essentially relying on imp.find_module, which does not work for this kind of pseudo-module.

I'd gladly work on a PR if one can provide me a hint on how this is supposed to be handled.

Python.NET is IronPython or it's different? I will be happy to assist you on a PR, but first I got to see why it fails. ;-)

No, Python.NET is a library to import and use CLR assemblies like Python modules.

I don't know yet what the exact loading mechanism is, it's not exposed to Python, but it allows you to do stuff like from System import String to use .NET classes.

Probably we could fix this by adding AST transforms. Have a look at astroid.brain, there's a bunch of transforms that could be useful for inspiration. Adding support for this in modutils doesn't seem the right approach.
