Sorry for the late answer, this was lying around in my mailbox for a while and
I forgot about it.

You'll likely need to adjust the setting anyways, because you'll need to use
the camelCase convention when overriding virtual C++ methods from Qt (or even
just when calling methods of course).

The remaining question is whether to use snake_case for the Python part of your
codebase, or switch to camelCase (against PEP8) for everything.

I went for the former for my project, some projects like pytest-qt just expose
both (e.g. qtbot.add_widget() and qtbot.addWidget()) and let the user decide.

Here's my .pylintrc, though it's pretty permissive in general:
