dirstate: use list comprehension to get a list of keys We have used dict.keys() which returns a dict_keys() object instead of list on Python 3. So this patch replaces that with list comprehension which works both on Python 2 and 3.

match: slice over bytes to get the byteschr instead of ascii value

match: make regular expression bytes to prevent TypeError

scmutil: make function name bytes in class filecache func.__name__ returns unicodes and this leads to keyerror when we try to do filecache[''] by passing bytes.

localrepo: deprecate 'wfile' The method had very few users and the modern form is shorter. So let us deprecates another method of the localrepo class.

eol: use 'wvfs' instead of 'wfile' Method is about to be deprecated and the modern form is shorter.

localrepo: use 'wvfs' instead of 'wfile' Method is about to be deprecated and the modern form is shorter.

tagmerge: use 'wvfs' instead of 'wfile' Method is about to be deprecated and the modern form is shorter.

gpg: use 'wvfs' instead of 'wfile' Method is about to be deprecated and the modern form is shorter.

test: add a basic 'test-check-pylint.t' We add a minimal check using pylint for one case we knows we care about: "mutable default" argument. We'll likely extend this over time to cover other useful checks but this is a good starting point.

localrepo: don't use mutable default argument value Caught by pylint.

httpclient: don't use mutable default argument value Caught by pylint.

largefiles: don't use mutable default argument value Caught by pylint.

hgk: don't use mutable default argument value Caught by pylint.

convert: don't use mutable default argument value Caught by pylint.

mq: don't use mutable default argument value Caught by pylint.
