It isn't "space". Got an example for that warning? I don't use PyCharm, 
but the main linter warning I get is an _unused_ variable, eg:

     def f():
         x = 3

I set x and never use it. Likely brain fade on my part, and worth a 
warning.

Yeah. The above looks like a method. I'd probably have something like:

     class C:

         LEGAL_AGE_US = 21

         def is_adult(self) -> bool:
             return self.age >= self.LEGAL_AGE_US

Variables used (self). Constant a class attribute.
