Subject: [PATCH] Bump pylint version and fix to 2.8 to avoid bug

pylint 2.9 crashes - I can't figure out why, but it seems like it's
a bug in pylint rather than an error in our code.
We should try to track it down and get it fixed, I've seen
some similar bug reports on their github, but
all of them should be resolved in 2.9...
