Python spyder error

[mark brethen]

I think I have found a error with the Spyder python script 'pylintgui.py'. Looking at these lines in the code:

from spyderlib.utils import programs

PYLINT_PATH = programs.get_nt_program_name('pylint')

def is_pylint_installed():
   return programs.is_program_installed(PYLINT_PATH)

This will return false since a symbolic-link to pylint, named 'pylint-2.7' is installed in '/opt/local/bin'; pylint being installed into '/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/pylint'.

I've notified the developer, but until this is fixed, what would be the best way to work around this issue?
