It seems that the pylint installation has some problems in Travis CI environment but I can’t quite figure out why.  
Since pylint works fine in local environment and I can’t search any related issue on pylint side, so I reach here for help.

The error message is here:

Yes, I change the travis config, and it magically works, but I don’t quite know why.

Anyway thanks for help!
