Version: 1.4.1

License File: pylint/LICENSE.txt
Security Critical: No

Description:
This directory contains the pylint module.

This code is not included in the final build.  It is only used to run linting
checks on code (usually at presubmit time).

This is only used by code inside the src tree that needs to import the pylint
module directly.  If you're using `pylint` to check your code (e.g. via the
PRESUBMIT.cfg file), then this copy is *not* used.  That pylint comes from the
depot_tools repo instead.

Local Modifications:
- applied upstream fix https://bitbucket.org/logilab/pylint/commits/5df347467ee0
- applied fix to work around bad interaction between sys.path manipulation in
  pylint itself and multiprocessing's implementation on Windows (DIFF1)
