I can confirm this bug affects me too on Wily.

sudo apt-get remove --purge pylint

is enough to get emacs to start up instantly.

Whereas

sudo apt-get install pylint

Hangs for a very long time, and starting emacs after that hangs for a very long time - it shows `Loading pylint...` in the minibuffer while hanging.

$ dpkg -l | egrep 'pylint|emacs'
ii emacs 46.1 all GNU Emacs editor (metapackage)
ii emacs24 24.5+1-1ubuntu2 amd64 GNU Emacs editor (with GTK+ GUI support)
ii emacs24-bin-common 24.5+1-1ubuntu2 amd64 GNU Emacs editor's shared, architecture dependent files
ii emacs24-common 24.5+1-1ubuntu2 all GNU Emacs editor's shared, architecture independent infrastructure
ii emacs24-common-non-dfsg 24.4+1-2 all GNU Emacs common non-DFSG items, including the core documentation
ii emacsen-common 2.0.8 all Common facilities for all emacsen
ii maxima-emacs 5.36.1-1 all Computer algebra system -- emacs interface
ii pylint 1.3.1-3ubuntu1 all Python code static checker and UML diagram generator

What I don't understand is that this combo has worked ever since I installed wily, and I haven't updated emacs or pylint for over a month.
