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.

hashlib module containing both hash algorithms. Here, we provide a common
interface to the md5 and sha constructors, preferring the hashlib module when
available.
