Some historical context: this is not about jessie being old, it's the fact that Ganeti depends on an exact pylint version. Pylint checks change significantly between versions (sometimes even for minor versions), so one cannot do automated checks at commit time unless the checks are stable; hence the requirement for an exact version, and not what the current distro has, so that all devs see the same output as buildbot/commit checks. It would be very good if someone spent the time to cleanup the codebase and bump up the pylint version, but as I see it from your output it's a lot of style changes (of almost no value) instead of actual Python fixes. regards, iustin
