IIRC, in pylint you can turn off checking for a particular symbol.  I had 
to edit a .pylintrc file (location may vary on Windows) and there was a 
declaration in the file that listed symbols to ignore.

Last time I bothered running it, I added "id" to that list, since I use 
it often (bad habit) and almost never use the builtin id, but still 
wanted shadowing warnings for other symbols.
