* Replace weak hashing functions, key sizes, and random number
generation techniques with less weak versions to prevent
crashes when running with the fips module loaded.
* Can't see any issue removing the twisted similate call and it
seems to already be done by gtk2reactor so duplicated.
* The gnome die handled never appears to be called and most signals
are handled by twisted so remove this code as well.
* Fix for pluginmanager multiple inheritance which in this case is using super incorrectly.
* Explicitly disable pylint 'pointless-except' and 'super-on-old-class' that prospector
tool somehow runs.
* Make __all__ a tuple to supress pep257 warning.
* Add a noqa for older versions of pyflakes.
Selected Warning messages disabled in pylintrc:
* unused-argument: Quite a large and disruptive change if enabled.
* broad-except: Most required in-depth investigation to determine type.
* fixme: Not important
* protected-access: Complicated to fix
* import-error: Too many false-positives
* unidiomatic-typecheck: Should be fixed in the next round of checks.
* unused-variable: Again large and disruptive changes.
* global-statement: Most usage is required.
* attribute-defined-outside-init: Should be fixed in next round of checks.
* arguments-differ: Possible false-positives, needs revisited.
* no-init, non-parent-init-called, super-init-not-called: False-positives?
* signature-differs: False-positives?
Disabled Conventions messages:
* missing-docstring: Not likely all methods/funcs will ever have docstrings.
* invalid-name: Far too many too fix so will simply have to ensure submitted
or altered code keeps to the convention.
* old-style-class: Not a priority but would be nice to eventually fix this.
* bad-continuation: Occasionally conflicts with pep8, not worth enabling if using
pyflakes and pep8 as these will catch most continuation issues.
