pylint #7394 W0212 (access to protected member) not emited on assigments [open]

Paul `Satoshi' Hachmann :

In the following code, the '_secret' protected member of SomeClass is accessed twice; once to set it and another to print it:

class SomeClass(object):
   def __init__(self):
       self._secret = 3


obj = SomeClass()
obj._secret = 1                      # Doesn't catch this!
print "I am accessing", obj._secret  # Produces W0212, as expected

However, the assignment statement by itself doesn't generate a W0212.
