bad-plugin-value error in version 2.14.2 and 2.14.3

[danawillow]

Bug description

When upgrading from 2.14.1 to 2.14.2 or 2.14.3, our pylint stops working with this error: Command line or configuration file:1:0: E0013: Plugin 'recidiviz.tools.lint.pylint_checkers' is impossible to load, is it installed ? ('No module named 'recidiviz'') (bad-plugin-value)

Reproduction steps:

1. git clone https://github.com/Recidiviz/pulse-data.git
2. cd pulse-data
3. pipenv shell
4. pipenv sync --dev
5. pip install pylint==2.14.2
6. pylint recidiviz/server_config.py

(there is other pylint output there because this repo is a 2 week old copy of the private repository we're actually doing work in. I can repro the issue in both, but don't get the additional output in the up-to-date one)

Configuration

I'm not sure what's causing the bug, so here's a few relevant configs:
https://github.com/Recidiviz/pulse-data/blob/main/.pylintrc
https://github.com/Recidiviz/pulse-data/blob/main/setup.cfg
https://github.com/Recidiviz/pulse-data/blob/main/recidiviz/tools/lint/pylint_checkers.py

Command used

pylint recidiviz/server_config.py (but that specific file isn't important- it fails on all of them)

Pylint output

************* Module Command line or configuration file
Command line or configuration file:1:0: E0013: Plugin 'recidiviz.tools.lint.pylint_checkers' is impossible to load, is it installed ? ('No module named 'recidiviz'') (bad-plugin-value)

Hi @danawillow, thanks for the report.

I see an init-hook with quoted code in your config, which suggests to me this is the same issue as #7006. Would you be willing to try unquoting the code and see if that A.) provides a short-term workaround, and B.) confirms this to be the same root cause?

[danawillow]

Unquoting worked! Sounds like this is the same root cause, so I'll go ahead and close this issue. Thanks for the speedy diagnosis and workaround!
