Uh. I don't care that much about pyicu. (I thought I made it clear by 
cloning, reassigning and retitling this bug...)

pylint is currently advertised (both in the package description and in 
the FAQ) as a static analyser, even though it's _not_ static. This puts 
users who run pylint over untrusted code (e.g. me, before I discovered 
this bug) at risk of compromising their systems.
