What is your point DFS?  You found pylint, and you don't like what it
tells you.  Its a tool, and it can tell you some things.  Your code
seems to be a mix of tabs and spaces, and you don't like standard
python practices.  That's fine, coding is (at least alone) an
individual pursuit.  You can code anyway you like.

But, learning from the work of others, can be awfully useful.  Most
people I know use spaces, they set their text editor up to make tabs
turn into 4 spaces.  Problem solved.  As far as wanting to put several
statements on a line, you can do that if you like, but others have
concluded that the code is easier to read if you don't.  If that isn't
your view, do what you like.

It depends upon what problems you want to fight.  If you adhere to
standards, your code is more easily reviewed and easier to get help
from others, if that is what you ask.
