tries to open emacs locks

Hello,
this is bug http://www.logilab.org/19517 and https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=563000 which is still happening:

When a file is modified but not saved in emacs, some sort of
dangling-symlink lockfile is created:

 .#HexBoard.py -> username@hostname.domain.tld.9285:1262073654

This confuses pylint:

************* Module Omaha.Boards..#HexBoard
F0002:  1: <class 'logilab.astng._exceptions.ASTNGBuildingException'>: Unable to load module Omaha.Boards..#HexBoard (No module named #HexBoard)


I suppose it would be enough to just ignore dotfiles, I guess they
would make invalid python module names anyway.  Similarly, the #
character is most probaby forbidden here as well - all in all, pylint
should probably ignore such files as impossible to properly use from
python, and possibly issue a warning about their presence.

The problem still happens today:

************* Module Omaha.Games.abstract..#PlayerPools
F:  1, 0: error while code parsing: Unable to load file '/work/yann/games/omaha2/Omaha/Games/abstract/.#PlayerPools.py' ([Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/work/yann/games/omaha2/Omaha/Games/abstract/.#PlayerPools.py') (parse-error)
