Pylint: module 'pylint.checkers.utils' has no attribute 'is_call_of_name' // pylint 2.6.1

Hi All,

after the update to 2.6.1 version I'm getting the following error in every .py file:

AttributeError: module 'pylint.checkers.utils' has no attribute 'is_call_of_name'

has anyone already experienced this?

Best,
Alexey

Thank you for the report, we're having some trouble following the release of astroid 2.5 The temporary fix is to use:

pylint==2.6.0
astroid < 2.5

Edit : pylint 2.6.2 should work now.

Also bitten by the regression.
I confirm that the fix from https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint/issues/4096#issuecomment-779668984 worked fine.

I was trying to verify that excluding pylint 2.6.1 alone is sufficient (see PR posts above), but it turns out pylint 2.6.2 had just been released some minutes ago and it succeeds again. Thanks much for the very quick turnaround!!

No problem, I don't like seeing issues with a new thumbs up every 3 minutes :D

Made me realize that pinning pylint is the way to go as a new version can make a build fail because of new messages anyway.
