+Subject: [PATCH] checkers/variables: do not pass asname to Import.infer()
+
+astroid 4.2 removed the asname keyword argument from Import/ImportFrom
+inference (astroid commit fe29fb1f7e3e, "Remove `asname` kwarg from
+Import/ImportFrom `_infer`"). With astroid >= 4.2, pylint 4.0.8 then
+crashes on any module that imports a missing submodule of a package:
+
+ TypeError: NodeNG.infer() got an unexpected keyword argument 'asname'
+ ... (astroid-error)
+
+which breaks the fallback_import_enabled, import_error and
+no_name_in_module functional tests with the astroid 4.3.1 in meta-python.
+
+This is the pylint/ part of upstream commit 554b1d192434
+("Bump `astroid` to `4.2.0b4` (#11153)"); the astroid version pin
+changes in pyproject.toml and requirements_test_min.txt are left out.
+

pylint 4.0.8 passes asname=False to Import.infer(), a keyword argument astroid 4.2 removed. With the astroid 4.3.1 in meta-python this makes pylint crash on any import of a missing submodule: TypeError: NodeNG.infer() got an unexpected keyword argument 'asname' which shows up in ptest as astroid-error in three functional tests: FAIL: tests/test_functional.py:test_functional[fallback_import_enabled] FAIL: tests/test_functional.py:test_functional[import_error] FAIL: tests/test_functional.py:test_functional[no_name_in_module] Backport the pylint/ part of upstream commit 554b1d192434 ("Bump astroid to 4.2.0b4"), which drops the argument. meta-python-image-ptest-python3-pylint on qemux86-64 now passes 872 tests with none failing.
