[code-quality] Is it possilbe to run pyLint on a string

[Piotr Kupczyk]

I am wondering whether it is possible to run pylint on a string
containing code. I checked that it is possible in flake8 i.e.
http://flake8.readthedocs.org/en/latest/api.html#flake8.main.check_code
Is that possible in pylint?

Thanks
