Add pylint configuration file (pylintrc) and do_pylint.sh script which runs pylint checkers on Melange code using pylintrc file as config. do_pylint.sh as default shows additional information like reports, TODOs, code similarities and unused imports, but you can run it in silent mode (--silent) which disables all of that. The only problem with unused imports in pylint right now is that it doesn't work in the situation described in last example at http://code.google.com/p/soc/wiki/PythonStyleGuide#Packages, so sometimes we get unused import soc when we actually shouldn't. However this can be fixed by writing pylint plugins (our own checkers) in future.

The md5 and sha modules are deprecated since Python 2.5, replaced by the
hashlib module containing both hash algorithms. Here, we provide a common
interface to the md5 and sha constructors, preferring the hashlib module when
available.
