Changing our logic because of a style checker feels wrong. I'd rather
stick in a line like this before the definitions:

# pylint: disable=bad-whitespace

(Not sure if the syntax of this is entirely correct, but from the
comment in your patch and existing uses in iotests, I think this would
be the line.)
