Atom: Pylint - false negative when trying to import numpy

Question

So, I've got a python project that requires numpy. I have successfully installed numpy and importing it works just fine, but pylint is saying that numpy cannot be imported.

The project is located on another hdd that is mounted at:

/run/media/user/misc/

The project is in:

/run/media/user/misc/pythonprojects/testing/

Here's my sample code:

import numpy
print(numpy.random.randn())

The code works just fine, but pylint is reporting:

E0401 Unable to import 'numpy'

I'm using Atom as editor, using the linter-pylint atom package for linting using pylint and using Fedora 26 as my OS.

Answer 1

I managed to fix the problem by installing pylint locally for my user using pip.
