Subject: [PATCH] Add setting `use_package_names`

Instead of using the file path as arg which pylint will in turn
convert to a package name, we do the conversion on our own.

This implementation takes the file path of the view relative to
the defined working dir (usually the project path) and then basically
swaps '/' with '.'.
