Global lists are identified as constants even though their contents are
modified (using the append() method) inside global functions.
To try and sidestep this issue I used a "global" declaration of the list
inside the functions to try and help pylint recognize their non constant
nature. Pylint then complained that there were "global" declarations
without any assignments being done.
I imagine that similar problems exist for other list methods that alter
the list contents (e.g. extend(), sort(), reverse(), pop()) and are a
clear indicator that the list is not a constant.
