"""Emacs and Flymake compatible Pylint.

This script is for integration with emacs and is compatible with flymake mode.

epylint walks out of python packages before invoking pylint. This avoids
reporting import errors that occur when a module within a package uses the
absolute import path to get another module within this package.

For example:
    - Suppose a package is structured as

        a/__init__.py
        a/b/x.py
        a/c/y.py

   - Then if y.py imports x as "from a.b import x" the following produces pylint
     errors

       cd a/c; pylint y.py

   - The following obviously doesn't

       pylint a/c/y.py

   - As this script will be invoked by emacs within the directory of the file
     we are checking we need to go out of it to avoid these false positives.


You may also use py_run to run pylint with desired options and get back (or not)
its output.

    modules from within its own package or another package rooted in a directory
    below it, pylint will classify it as a failed import.

    To get around this, we traverse down the directory tree to find the root of
    the package this module is in.  We then invoke pylint from this directory.

    Finally, we must correct the filenames in the output generated by pylint so
    Emacs doesn't become confused (it will expect just the original filename,
