I created a repo to repro this:

https://github.com/agroszer/playground

After all setup is done, you run $ bin/pylint playground.scriptapi2, bang you should get:

************* Module playground.scriptapi2
C:  1, 0: Missing module docstring (missing-docstring)
C:  6, 0: Missing class docstring (missing-docstring)
E: 14,29: Instance of 'Number2Words' has no 'tens' member (no-member)
E: 18,56: Instance of 'Number2Words' has no 'scales' member (no-member)

(Sorry, can't find a better title, because I have no idea what causes it)

Thank you. Will look into it.

Any hints how could I work around that single failing method? Keep the most possible checks but avoid the exception?

Try to disable not-an-iterable and see if that works. I'm working on releasing the new version, without these crashes this week or next.

I can no longer reproduce this example. I think this was another augassign recursion dupe. Closing for now.
