Wrong thinking. Make it Pythonic - but don't concern yourself with pylint's final score. Read pylint's output and learn from it, but don't treat a 10/10 score as the ultimate in ratings, because it just isn't. Also, be sure you read this part of PEP 8: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#a-foolish-consistency-is-the-hobgoblin-of-little-minds ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
