Use pylint as part of git branch pull requests

[Chris-Schnaufer]

Define pylint configuration and make it part of pull request acceptance criteria

Tags: coding, standards, pull request, pylint, acceptance test

Description

Coding workflow change
Right now there isn't a minimal coding standard to adhere to for python code. By leveraging TravisCI to perform a pylint test before running other tests, a minimal level of standards is enforced. An additional advantage is that some coding errors can be caught early on.

Completion Criteria

• Have a pylint configuration file available that submitted code can be tested against.
• Integrate pylint checking to Pull Request acceptance criteria
• Document the use of pylint as part of the Pull Request procedure
