Environment variables:
    The following environment variables are used:
        * PYLINTHOME    Path to the directory where persistent data for the run will
                        be stored. If not found, it defaults to '{DEFAULT_PYLINT_HOME}'.
        * PYLINTRC      Path to the configuration file. See the documentation for the method used
                        to search for configuration file.

Output:
    Using the default text output, the message format is :

        MESSAGE_TYPE: LINE_NUM:[OBJECT:] MESSAGE

    There are 5 kind of message types :
        * (I) info,         for informational messages
        * (C) convention,   for programming standard violation
        * (R) refactor,     for bad code smell
        * (W) warning,      for python specific problems
        * (E) error,        for probable bugs in the code
        * (F) fatal,        if an error occurred which prevented pylint from doing further processing.

Output status code:
    Pylint should leave with following bitwise status codes:
        * 0 if everything went fine
        * 1 if a fatal message was issued
        * 2 if an error message was issued
        * 4 if a warning message was issued
        * 8 if a refactor message was issued
        * 16 if a convention message was issued
        * 32 on usage error
