Disable R0801 messages in pylintrc. R0801 messages indicates that a set of similar lines has been detected among multiple file. This usually means that the code should be refactored to avoid this duplication but in our case it's useless since it shows a lot of imports code or authors.

    Moves a file from one location to another in the safest way possible.

    First, try using ``shutils.move``, which is OS-dependent but doesn't break
    if moving across filesystems. Then, try ``os.rename``, which will break
    across filesystems. Finally, streams manually from one file to another in
    pure Python.

    If the destination file exists and ``allow_overwrite`` is ``False``, this
    function will throw an ``IOError``.
