AFAIK `pylint` tries to avoid running the code.
A common idiom to protect code from being executed, if the module is just
imported opposed to executed as main module, is to write::
def foo():
# some code
if __name__ == '__main__':
foo()
`__name__` is set to the module name if the module will be imported but to
'__main__' if the module is directly executed.
