I=E2=80=99m impressed with 10/10.
My approach is to ensure flake8 (a combination of pyflakes and pep8
checking) does not report any warnings and then run pyLint as a final
check.
Code usually ends up in the 9.0 to 9.5 range, sometimes a bit higher.
Also find it useful to add some additional short names we use to the
 allowed names list.

Biggest issue I have with pyLint is that it complains when function
parameters are indented twice vs. once. pyFlakes likes the twice.
Example:
def function_name(
        parm_1,
        long_parm_name,
        =E2=80=A6.
        end_of_long_list_of params)
    parm_1 =3D long_parm_name

=E2=80=94Ray
