Provide a configuration for pylint
This project doesn't have a pylint configuration. This means that, among other things, my editor is telling me that some lines are too long for the default 80 characters. I want to be clear that I'm not saying that you should shorten these lines. Instead, I think it would be useful for the project to have a pylint configuration that matches the developers' intentions. It's less important what the standards for the project are than that we have a standard. As one of the explicit goals for the project is to be hackable, providing a lint configuration early will be a great help in reaching that goal. This is additionally important for making the code more Pythonic than the current pl2py output.
