If your goal is to run pylint on all files in the current working directory and subfolders, here is one workaround. This script runs pylint on the current directory. If __init__.py does not exist, it creates it, runs pylint, then removes it.

#! /bin/bash -
if [[ ! -e __init__.py ]]; then
    touch __init__.py
    pylint `pwd`
    rm __init__.py
else
    pylint `pwd`
fi
