`make lint` thows exception and dies

[Matt Layman]

I tried to run the lint tool to check the condition of the code (which sadly hasn't been run in a long time). It produced the following error. I ran a more specific test and isolated the problem to somewhere in entertainerlib/network.

This needs to be fixed because it's preventing most of the code from being checked.

matt@eden:~/future-repo/pythonize-musiclib$ pylint --rcfile=pylintrc entertainerlib/network/*

I narrowed it down further and isolate the problem to:

matt@eden:~/future-repo/pythonize-musiclib$ pylint --rcfile=pylintrc entertainerlib/network/local/client.py

I'm not sure why I didn't just do that in the first place.
