Question Update: I tried the following at command line prompt with
"pylint" and "epylint". Does this mean that epylint has a problem?

    C:\Projects>pylint test_lib.py
    No config file found, using default configuration
    ************* Module test_lib
    E: 13: invalid syntax

    C:\Projects>epylint test_lib.py
    'test_lib.py':1: [F] No module named 'test_lib.py'

    C:\Projects>epylint
    Traceback (most recent call last):
