title: unable to import module error in pylint
body: <p>I am playing around with pylint and using sonarqube for code analysis. Everything is installed and working fine. However I am getting error "f0401" saying that I am unable to import module. Here is my directory structure.</p>
  
  <pre><code>top level:
      directoryA
          __init__.py
          folderA
          some .py files        
      directoryB
          __init__.py
          folderA
          some .py files
      directoryC
          __init__.py
          folderA
          some .py files
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am running pylint on directoryA. the .py files in directoryA have some imports from the directoryB and directoryC. So when I run pylint on directoryA i get import errors such as unable to 'import directoryB.somemodule'. I hope that I am able to explain it clearly. </p>
  
  <p>Can some body help he how to solve that problem. P.S. It will be great if some ´body point me out to some good documentation and tutorials for using and tweaking pylint.</p>
