  One issue is that you do not have __builtins__
  this also causes issues with other projects, e.g.:
  here is the current crashlog (after adjusting posixpath to accept None):
  >>> import pylint.lint
  Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/***/jython2.7a2/Lib/site-packages/pylint/lint.py", line 31, in <module>
  from pylint.checkers import utils
  File "/home/***/jython2.7a2/Lib/site-packages/pylint/checkers/utils.py", line 97, in <module>
  builtins = __builtins__.copy()
  NameError: name '__builtins__' is not defined
  __builtins__ is a CPython implementation detail - if you use __builtin__ instead it is cross-implementation, so this can be considered a compatibility bug in pylint with an easy fix. See the note at the bottom of for proof/details.
  Thanks for your response I put this on the pylint tracker here.
