The same problem existed in the days when lint functionality was separate
from the C compiler.  People just had lint targets in their Makefiles.  So
you add a pylint target to your Makefile, something like (GNU make syntax):

	PYFILES = spam.py eggs.py cheese.py
	pylint: $(PYFILES:%.py=%.pyl)

	%.pyl:%.py
		pylint.py $< | tee $@

Then all you have to do is remember to "make pylint" periodically.
