Why don't we use safe_infer here?

Do you know of a way to use a helper with igetattr (or to use something besides igetattr, here)?

Ah, of course.. Well, seems like we need safe_igetattr πŸ˜„

I'm not well-versed in using __all__. Is it the case that it doesn't exist until it's defined explicitly? (As opposed to being an always-defined global)

I probably shouldn't have used the word "exists".

When __all__ isn't defined, you lose the ability to do:

>>> from pylint import *
>>> version
'3.0.0b1'

Is it the case that it doesn't exist until it's defined explicitly? (As opposed to being an always-defined global)

Indeed!

>>> import astroid
>>> astroid.__all__
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: module 'astroid' has no attribute '__all__'. Did you mean: '__file__'?

>>> pylint.__all__
