Title:
  pylint spews Exception RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded
  while calling a Python object

Status in pylint:
  Unknown
Status in pylint package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When operating on a file that calls email.message.Message.get(),
  pylint 0.15.2-1 spews repeated copies of this error message:

  Exception RuntimeError: 'maximum recursion depth exceeded while
  calling a Python object' in <type 'exceptions.AttributeError'> ignored

  Here is a test program that triggers pylint's complaints:

  import email.parser
  parser = email.parser.HeaderParser()
  message = parser.parsestr( '')
  message.get('From')
