pylint counts both physical lines and logical lines, but all collected
values are not displayed in reports. You should easily add a new report to
display some additional information if you need it. Well, it lacks some
documentation but the code is quite clean and I would be happy to help.

It's also possible to recursivly scan for all python modules in a
given package ("pylint mypackage"). The problem with failing import is the
most annoying one. I plan to fix it, one day ;)
