Implicit namespace package is not linted if it is inside a regular package #3944
Description
Steps to reproduce
- Create implicit namespace package inside regular package, for example:
$ tree package_with_namespace package_with_namespace ├── __init__.py └── namespace └── module.py 1 directory, 2 files
- Create similar hierarchy when a top-level namespace package contains a regular package with its own namespace package inside, for example:
$ tree namespace namespace ├── outer_module.py └── package ├── __init__.py ├── innerspace │ ├── inner_module.py │ └── inner_package │ └── __init__.py └── package_module.py 3 directories, 5 files
- Put
show_warning = True(or something similar) into.pyfiles just to get some warnings. - Run pylint on
package_with_namespace,package_with_namespace.namespaceandpackage_with_namespace.namespace.module - Run pylint on
namespace

Output from pylint package_with_namespace and pylint package_with_namespace.namespace should contain output from pylint package_with_namespace.namespace.module just like with pylint namespace.
