Answer 1

Pylint message control is documented in the Pylint manual:

Is it possible to locally disable a particular message?

Yes, this feature has been added in Pylint 0.11. This may be done by adding
# pylint: disable=some-message,another-one
at the desired block level or at the end of the desired line of code

You can use the message code or the symbolic names.

For example

def test():
    # Disable all the no-member violations in this function
    # pylint: disable=no-member
    ...

global VAR # pylint: disable=global-statement

The manual also has further examples.

There is a wiki that documents all pylint messages and their codes.
