Description
We use pylint and mypy to ensure high quality in our code, unfortunately both tools are confused about the pyvmomi package.
For example from pyVmomi import vim, vmodl throws a 'no-name-in-module' error with pylint and we have to silence it.
With mypy, and IDEs that support type annotation, we get errors such as vmodl.query.PropertyCollector? has no attribute "CreateFilter".
Are there instructions or plans on making pyvmomi work better with pylint and mypy?
