pylint 1.8.1: test failures during build

[sandrotosi]

Hello,
during debian package building we run the unittests, but with 1.8.1 there are quite some failures, here i'm pasting them below:

(how we run tests)

for python in python2.7 python3.6 ; do \
        LIB=$($python -c "from distutils.command.build import build ; from distutils.core import Distribution ; b = build(Distribution()) ; b.finalize_options() ; print(b.build_purelib)") ; \
        PYTHONPATH=/home/morph/deb/build-area/pylint-1.8.1/$LIB $python setup.py pytest --addopts "-k 'not test_good_comprehension_checks'" ; \
done

i uploaded the full build log at https://people.debian.org/~morph/pylint_1.8.1-1_amd64.build.txt (since the cut & past of the whole test failures is too big for GH issue text size limit) you can see the 2 test runs (one for 2.7 and one for 3.6) looking for the string "test session starts"

Thanks for the report! At least the ImportFrom error seems something that should already be solved either in master or in the 1.8 branch. Will take a look at the rest to see what's happening.

Closing this one in favour of #1981 Thanks for creating these issues @sandrotosi !
