pylint balks on reference to __package__
Question: I'm using `__package__` in setup.py to refer to the top-level name of the
package it's supposed to test, build, install, etc.. However, pylint objects:

    
    
    Module 'mian.mian' has no '__package__' member
    

This works fine in `ipython`:

    
    
    from mian import mian as package
    package.__dict__
    ...
     '__package__': 'mian',
    

Is pylint doing the right thing here, ignoring PEP 366's "When the import
system encounters an explicit relative import in a module without __package__
set (or with it set to None), it will calculate and store the correct value"?
If so, what do I need to change?

Workaround: Use `package.__name__.rpartition('.')[0]` instead of
`package.__package__`.
