For some reason, pylint doesn’t get ‘result’ may be of the array type (and will be for sure under the ‘if’ branch). There is currently no way to tell pylint about that, though it will hopefully be possible at some point. So for now, you can only disable the warning for that specific line by adding # pylint: disable=maybe-no-member after the offending statement or right above it. For example:
if type(result) is array.array:
read = result.tobytes() # pylint: disable=maybe-no-member
or
if type(result) is array.array:
# pylint: disable=maybe-no-member
read = result.tobytes()
