Plugin Doesn't Use Interpreter's PYTHONPATH

[Jonathan Mackenzie]

Step 1: Are you in the right place?

• I have verified there are no duplicate active or recent bugs, questions, or requests
• I have verified that I am using the latest version of the plugin.

Step 2: Describe your environment

• Plugin version: 0.14.0
• PyCharm/IDEA version: 2021.3.2 Professional Edition
• Pylint version: 2.12.2

Step 3: Describe the problem:

Pylint plugin does not set PYTHONATH when running pylint. import-error will be returned for lines that would normally work because they are set in the project interpreter's custom PYTHONPATH. A typical use case is when I am using a git submodule and want to import code from it.

The plugin also does not give a way to manually pass environment variables to the pylint call

Steps to reproduce:

1. Include code in subdirectory of project, eg. lib
2. Add lib to pythonpath of interpreter: File -> Settings -> Project -> Python Interpreter -> Cog Icon -> Show All -> Show Paths (last icon in the top bar) -> + Icon -> Select Path of lib. Save settings
3. Run pylint plugin
4. You will get import errors for modules in lib

Observed Results:

• Import Errors are returned (the swagger_client folder is under api_test/lib in the below screenshots)

Expected Results:

• No import errors
