My Django app works fine when I am just launching my application through python src/manage.py runserver But I would like to integrate pylint here, and when i launch the command pylint src --load-plugins pylint_django I got the following traceback:

AttributeError: 'ForeignKeyStringsChecker' object has no attribute 'config'
I have django project with such structure:
My auth app config file:
class IdentityConfig(AppConfig):
""" Identity App Config """
default_auto_field = 'django.db.models.BigAutoField'
name = 'apps.identity'
settings.py Installed Apps
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'rest_framework',
'apps.identity.apps.IdentityConfig',
]
I define django-settings-module = "src.config.settings" in pyproject.toml config, but it doesn't help
Also I noticed that for pylint it can be fixed, if I add src prefix before app in my INSTALLED_APPS and AppConfig like 'src.apps.identity.apps.IdentityConfig' and name = 'src.apps.identity'. With src it will work fine, but usual app load crashes with import error.
Could someone help please with this problem of pylint and paths?
The problem was solved by adding ENV var - PYTHONPATH='/src'
Seems that using non standard Django project structure with common folder apps for all applications broke the lib.
