The PyLint plugin is used to check the project (that's why it is accessible 
via the project menu). pylint -h gives you the following output.

Usage:  pylint [options] module_or_package

That clearly indicates, that pylint only works on modules and packages. 
Consequently the project's main directory must be a package. Should eric4 
generate an empty __init__.py file, if it doesn't discover one in the project 
dir?
