Bear in mind, when I say, "Pylint is opinionated", I mean the tool --
especially in its default configuration -- has its own opinion of what
is good style, and *I think its wrong on a number of points*. 

Its fine to use, but I'd read over PEP8 (the document, not the tool) and
apply style guide recommendations thoughtfully, not mechanically.

comment: apply style guides thoughtfully, not mechanically.

(Cannot be repeated often enough.)
