for specific file pylint works but linter-pylint doesn't -- Column start greater than line length

[mbdevpl]

The issue I'm having recently is that for a file: https://github.com/mbdevpl/version-query/blob/master/version_query/version.py linter-pylint is always failing, since I installed it not so long ago.

For latest as of now revision https://github.com/mbdevpl/version-query/blob/8289045e7b818aa36a447202cdb3b46d6207c9a1/version_query/version.py the error message reads:

[Linter] Error running Pylint Error: Column start (31) greater than line length (14) for line 37

However pylint itself works (e.g. on my MacBook):

... and further logs showing that pylint works for that file can be found on TravisCI, e.g Python 3.6 on Linux: https://travis-ci.org/mbdevpl/version-query/jobs/294048400#L1154

Similar issues in the past were #2 and #165 - it seems this might not be related to any of them though.

Error always happens for me with linter-pylint 2.1.0 (latest, no updates available) on Mac and Linux.

And BTW, linter-pylint works great for all my other files, I think it's a really useful and good tool overall. What can I do to help fix this one annoying error?
