[DanielNoord]

@Pierre-Sassoulas This is a release blocker imo.

Making a PR to fix this somewhere today!

[DanielNoord]

Thanks for the report @tyralla! I have deployed a fix and we should release astroid 2.12.7 somewhere today.

One side note: we advise against upgrading astroid manually. Although this time this was much appreciated as it helped prevent releasing pylint with an avoidable crash, normally we bump astroid within pylint itself. There are instances where upgrading astroid on its own without pylint being ready for it can create issues. So, normally just pinning pylint should give you the last up to date and compatible version of both packages.

[Pierre-Sassoulas]

(astroid get updated automatically in pylint when we release patch versions, but they usually don't break anything)

Hi! I am also having the same problem.
How can I download version 2.15.1? I couldn't find it on the https://pypi.org/ site.
May I know when it will be available for download?
Thanks!

[tyralla]

@ejolie: you must upgrade astroid (currently 2.12.8), then pylint 2.15.0 does not crash anymore.

[ejolie]

@tyralla Thanks! It works!

[Pierre-Sassoulas]

How can I download version 2.15.1? I couldn't find it on the https://pypi.org/ site.

Thank you for the comment, it made me realize I failed at releasing. I released 2.16.0-dev instead of 2.15.1 (https://pypi.org/project/pylint/2.16.0.dev0/). We're going to skip 2.15.1 and release 2.15.2 directly hopefully today.
