Seems this problem was fixed with Pylint 1.4:
https://bitbucket.org/logilab/pylint/issue/384

However, prospector requires pylint<1.4.

I went ahead and re-opened #75, a duplicate. I closed it at the time, it sounded like it was already being addressed but it is still an issue, hopefully it will help others find existing issues next time.

You can find a workaround in #73 -- basically, forcefully upgrading pylint to 1.4, clobber pylint's hard-requirement on <1.4 in its requires.txt in the installed egg.

The 0.8 release which just appeared will fix this, see #73 (comment)
