pylintrc added

[evelynmitchell]

Doing some lint cleanup. This repository has a different naming style than pylint prefers, so I've turned that check off.

[evelynmitchell]

There are quite a few functions with missing docstrings. If it is a good idea to add them, I'll do them all at once. Until then, the check is disabled.

Turned off the check for too-many-arguments in function calls. This would be invasive to fix, and would need good test coverage to refactor.

[evelynmitchell]

Turned off the check for too-many-statements in functions. This would be invasive to fix, and would need good test coverage to refactor.

[evelynmitchell]

Turned off the check for too-many-branches in functions. This would be invasive to fix, and would need good test coverage to refactor.

[evelynmitchell]

Turned off the check for too-many-local variables. This would be invasive to fix, and would need good test coverage to refactor.

[evelynmitchell]

Turned off the check for unused-arguments. This would be a simple fix, but I would like to have good test coverage to refactor.

Thanks for the PR. Currently the project uses mypy and flake8 for static code analysis (as well as PyCharm when coding) and that gives a good balance between finding actual bugs and being inundated by pedantic warnings. IMHO, the latter is what pylint does and I will pass on using and maintaining that as a linter. Of course I'd be happy if you report any bugs that pylint can find.

The big set of patches which I will do in chunks, are related to logging-fstring-interpolation, which will speed up logging.

I rather like the way it is right now though, with f-strings.
