python - PyLint "Unable to import" error - how to set PYTHONPATH? - Stack Overflow
Very handy solution to the problem of making a project you're working on available to its own tests. While this tends not to be an issue for linting from the command line (I use a Makefile and sort the PYTHONPATH when doing the linting), but from within Emacs with flycheck it can be more awkward.
