python - pylint can't find QWidget and QApplication

Question

import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import (QApplication, QWidget)
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = QWidget()
window.setGeometry(50, 50, 500, 300)
window.setWindowTitle('Hello, world')
window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

I just started to learn pyqt5. I wrote this hello world app, which works. But pylint gives "E0611:No name 'QWidget' in module 'PyQt5.QtWidgets'" and same for QApplication. Is it some kind of bug in pylint?

pylint --version
No config file found, using default configuration

(Ubuntu) I've created a ~/.pylintrc file and added there

[MASTER]
extension-pkg-whitelist=PyQt5

It is more convenient. And now pylint applies this configuration even in my Visual Studio Code editor.

Or in VSCode settings:

"python.linting.pylintArgs": [
    "--extension-pkg-whitelist=PyQt5"
],
