Comment (by eschnett):

 On my system, pylint is called "pylint-2.4".

 What do pychecker and pylint do? Do they only output warnings, or abort
 the code?

 In my experience, aborting on errors and on some warnings is the best
 thing to do. This may seem inconvenient at first, but very quickly one
 obtains a much more solid code base.
