Pylint is reporting false-positive error

error   zb1.buildup     1   0   Unable to import 'application'

Here is the screenshot of my structure. It's screaming about all my imports from my current project. Does it not add the project as a path?

I know pylint is a static code checker but this feels obviously wrong. Let me know if I made a mistake of on my part. Thank you!

P.S. Just in case here is the pylint command pylint --output-format=html ../zb1 > pylint.html . Also code works, just in case you are wondering.

buildup.py

from application import app, db #import app

if __name__ == "__main__":
    db.create_all()

Screenshot

$ pylint --version

You're having an issue with the python search path. A relatively simple solution is to define the PYTHONPATH environment variable. Assuming that you're trying to invoke pylint from within zb1, the following should work:

PYTHONPATH=`pwd` pylint --output-format=html ../zb1 > pylint.html

The addition at the beginning of the line defined the PYTHONPATH environment variable for that invocation of pylint.
