    * (C) convention, for programming standard violation                       
    * (R) refactor, for bad code smell                                         
    * (W) warning, for python specific problems                                
    * (E) error, for much probably bugs in the code                                                
    * (F) fatal, if an error occured which prevented pylint from doing further \
processing.
