The minimal example is actually import sets sets.Set() The Set class has implementations for __cmp__() and __hash__() that unconditionally raise an exception. pychecker assumes that these methods are "abstract", i. e. meant to be overriden by a subclass, and warns that you are instantiating an abstract base class, while the intention of the Set class author was to make Sets "uncomparable" and unhashable by overriding the corresponding superclass methods.
