How do the rules interact with the flake8 tests which we already do?

[amilcarlucas]

They do not, pylint is much more compreensive than flake8 and it runs a lot slower. This file is just to run pylint localy for now.
Once more of the code gets linted, we can automate this and activate fail on errors.

BTW better than flake8 is ruff

ruff sounds like better option, pylint is too slow
