DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:
This runs pylint on your python code, which finds a lot to complain about, not all of which will be important, but PEP8 compliance is very usual on python projects, and a great idea. pylint checks for PEP8 compliance. For more info see: https://realpython.com/python-pep8/#:~:text=PEP%208%2C%20sometimes%20spelled%20PEP8,and%20consistency%20of%20Python%20code.
I put this up to demonstrate the potential. It's a good idea to put the unit tests in place before trying to clean up all the warnings.
