The workaround proposed in comment #6 does not solve the issue for me on Kubuntu xenial but removing:
/etc/site-start.d/50pylint.el
lets emacs start any python file instantly without hanging but (of course) with no pylint. This issue for me started out of nowhere, I haven't updated anything for a long time and all of a sudden trying to create a new python file takes forever.
