That seems like a improper error message from the tool. "Invalid name"

"Invalid" in any sense of the word, and a "checker" that tells you it is

something like:
"self.lightDone: Does not match PEP8 recommended style"
making it clear that this is *not* an error, it is a *style* related
*warning*.
I quite agree. Wanting 3 chars for attribute names is not even PEP-8
style but pylint-author style. I was really surprised at that. In that
case, 'Does not match pylint recommended style.' or even 'configured
styles'. I have not used pylint or pychecker as of yet.
I agree with you all...
Thanks, everyone - now I shall investigate pylint and friends in more
detail on my own :-)
