add basic pylint configuration

[akva2]

This adds a basic configuration file for pylint. It is pretty much vanilla, but it's nice to have the configurability at the source.

[VikingScientist]

This would be really great to have in here.

Add a short description on how-to-use and/or why-to-use in Readme.md and I'll put this in.

[akva2]

readme updated.

Missing installation instructions (use pip and not apt-get)

[akva2]

evil installation instructions added.

[VikingScientist]

With this installation instructions, I get an executable pylint and not pylint3

[akva2]

argh, the inconsistencies of the python world ;)

Also: the tool seem ruthless towards the code. Wall of text crits you with the following errors/warnings/refractors

Rates the code as 9.44/10, but I can't tell if 10 or 1 is good.

[akva2]

yes? that's the whole point. not to massage your ego but to beat it.

[VikingScientist]

Haha, yes I guess that is true :laughing: Seems like a nice tool to have :+1:
