You could have selected just the text in that window and pasted it as
text into the mail.  Smaller mail and less likely to end up in a spam
filter.  :-)

This depends on how you have installed Pylint.  If you download the
source manually and do ``python setup.py install`` in the unpacked
directory then you have to install the dependencies manually too.

If you use an installer like ``pip`` then the dependencies will be
automatically resolved/installed.

My first stop is always the Python package index (pypi):

  http://pypi.python.org/

You'll find the dependencies there and links to download locations, or
you may search for ``pip``, install that, and then use it to (re)install
Pylint including the dependencies.
