Global const values should be ALL_CAPS, so it's obvious that nobody
intends to modify them.  It's the non-const global attributes that
expect to be underscored.

You shouldn't have to use those underscores very often.  After all,
there is seldom a need for a non-const global value, right?  Don't think
of it as a pylint problem, but as a hint from pylint that perhaps you
should use fewer globals.
