I've recently installed pylint on a windows 7 and when I run it I get the error:

Error executing PyLint: Command failed with error=None, status=1; stderr:
Traceback (most recent call last): 
  File "C:\Python27\Scripts\pylint", line 3, in <module> 
   run_pylint() 
 File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\pylint\__init__.py", line 20, in run_pylint 
from pylint.lint import Run 
File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\pylint\lint.py", line 30, in <module> 
from pylint.checkers import utils #pylint: disable=unused-import

File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\pylint\checkers__init__.py", line 47, in from pylint.reporters import diff_string File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\pylint\reporters__init__.py", line 20, in from pylint.utils import MSG_TYPES File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\pylint\utils.py", line 32, in from astroid import nodes, Module ImportError: No module named astroid

I've followed the install instructions as best I can but can't seem to get past this.

  • how did you install pylint ? using pip/easy_install ? Astroid is a pylint dependencies. Above tools should install it automatically. If you install from source, download and install astroid as well (see https://bitbucket.org/logilab/astroid) – sthenault Sep 15 '14 at 07:45
