I am running pylint in an environment where certain import libraries are not available and are 3rd party. As a result, pylint generates an error class wrong-import-order C0411 for these imports. 
Is there a way to instruct which should be considered 3rd party?

Pylint 2.1.1 
Python 3.6.3
Yes, that would be known-third-party, which you can set under [IMPORTS]:
# Force import order to recognize a module as part of a third party library.
known-third-party=your modules
Is there a way to instruct Pylint which libraries should be considered 3rd party?
