pylint: enable use-a-generator

This catches some optimization problems, mostly in the use of `all()`
and `any()`. Basically writing `any([x == 5 for x in f])` vs `any(x == 5
for x in f)` reduces the performance because the entire concrete list
must first be created, then iterated over, while in the second f is
iterated and checked element by element.
