pylint-shortcodes

I got really tired of constantly Googling pylint codes. pylint --list-msgs | grep wasn't much faster. All I wanted to do was find a quick, easily searchable reference with all the error codes and their more descriptive names.

Using the modules for virtualenv and pip, I programmatically installed every possible version of pylint. I then ran pylint --list-msgs and parsed the output, sending it to templates via jinja2. The pages are formatted via jQuery and DataTables. I included a link to PyLint Messages, the website I used the most trying to find a quick reference.

I slapped this together in a couple of hours. Calling the source a train wreck is an insult to trains everywhere. I might touch this later, but I might not. There's probably a better way to do this natively in Python, and there's most definitely a more elegant way to do it.
