Depending on pylint>1.8 breaks Python 2 compatibility

[pquentin]

pylint 2.0+ dropped Python 2 support, but gcp-devrel-py-tools depends on 'pylint >= 1.8.0'. This is causing the urllib3 CI to fail with Python 2.7.

Is Python 2 intended to be supported? I don't see any PyPI classifiers. I can open a PR to fix the issue by depending on pylint<2.0 for Python 2+.

Thanks!

@theacodes Any thoughts on this issue? Thanks!

Yeah we have to so that the app engine sdk part will work. To be honest, I think we can drop pylint/make it an optional dependency. I'm not sure any of our projects are really using pylint any more.

This works now, possibly because we're using pip 9+ in our CI.
