fd and fh are fine: we often use these for "file descriptor" or "file
handle" accordingly. It is rarely the case that you need to enforce a
more semantically meaningful name beyond "This is the file we are using
right now."

While we're here: add comments for all of the non-standard pylint
names. (And the underscore.)
