Description
**Description of the false positive**
lgtm complains that a "Module is imported more than once" in my python code, but the first import ist protected by "if TYPE_CHECKING:", which is required for mypy type checking to work properly. I think lgtm should simply ignore imports that are under `TYPE_CHECKING`.
**URL to the alert on the project page on LGTM.com**
Here is the concrete error:
