Am I thinking wrong? Perhaps it's not possible to ignore errors like [pylint] E0401:Unable to import 'django.contrib.sites.shortcuts' using .pylintrc? Everything else I put in the disable= sections seems to be working.

Environment data

VS Code version: 1.20.1
Python Extension version: 2018.1 (01 Feb 2018)
Python Version: 2.7, 3.6
OS and version: Windows 10 Home 1709 16299.248

Actual behavior

Unable to import errors are shown, even though the following is set in .pylintrc
[MESSAGES CONTROL]
disable=import-error

Expected behavior

Errors should be ignored

Steps to reproduce:

• Develop locally, server on Virtualbox without remotr debugging, therefore I need to ignore the imports

Logs

Output from Python output panel

etc.

Thank you!
