[SOLVED] pylint and astroid AttributeError: 'Module' object has no attribute 'col

It fails using pylint version 2.9.0 and 2.9.3. With version 2.8.3 it still works though.

See GitHub-issue under the provided link.

EDIT on different attempts producing the same error:

Installing pylint=2.9.3
Installing astroid and pylint (latest versions, no version specification)
Installing astroid and pylint and upgrade astroid to latest version during build-process (in AWS test-buildspec.yml) via pip install --upgrade astroid (suggested here)
