You can keep the imports at the top of the file.

If you want to split apart the code such that the core import doesn't
import it, you can create a "core module" containing the classes and
routines, and a separate script entrypoint, which imports arg parsers,
sys.argv, etc.

For this, for now, it's okay to just leave it at the top of the file.

But, well. It's nitpicky and I'm not sure it matters just yet. It might,
as we start to expand pylint to more places, but we're not being
rigorous about that just yet. So either way, I know this works:
