What does I mean in pylint? I haven't seen an error message that starts with I before.

Based on https://docs.pylint.org/en/1.6.0/tutorial.html, I is not included in the following list

  * (C) convention, for programming standard violation
  * (R) refactor, for bad code smell
  * (W) warning, for python specific problems
  * (E) error, for much probably bugs in the code
  * (F) fatal, if an error occurred which prevented pylint from doing

It's related to a C++ extension.

Consider adding this module to extension-pkg-whitelist if you want to perform analysis based on run-time introspection of living objects. (c-extension-no-member)

I found it in the source code (Pylint version 2.6.0):

"I1101": (
    "%s %r has no %r member%s, but source is unavailable. Consider "
    "adding this module to extension-pkg-whitelist if you want "
    "to perform analysis based on run-time introspection of living objects.",
    "c-extension-no-member",
    "Used when a variable is accessed for non-existent member of C "
    "extension. Due to unavailability of source static analysis is impossible, "
    "but it may be performed by introspecting living objects in run-time.",

And also a list of the error codes here including the "I".

As for what I means:

  1. if you can reproduce the message then i suggest generating Pylint reports then prints a list with all the error categories of your result. Hopefully the I category too. To enable reports, when you run Pylint simply add the flag -rn or --reports=y

  2. This documentation might help you understand more, so you could just disable this error if you wish to.
