pylint balks on reference to package

Question

I'm using __package__ in setup.py to refer to the top-level name of the package it's supposed to test, build, install, etc.. However, pylint objects:

Module 'mian.mian' has no '__package__' member

This works fine in ipython:

from mian import mian as package package.__dict__ ... '__package__': 'mian',

Is pylint doing the right thing here, ignoring PEP 366's "When the import system encounters an explicit relative import in a module without __package__ set (or with it set to None), it will calculate and store the correct value"? If so, what do I need to change?

Workaround: Use package.__name__.rpartition('.')[0] instead of package.__package__.

If you're really trying to fix everything that pylint complains about, you'd have an awful lot of work for nothing. And your program will only get worse. But you might file a bug report. — Rosh Oxymoron
