I can confirm this bug affects me too on Wily.
sudo apt-get remove --purge pylint
is enough to get emacs to start up instantly.
Whereas
sudo apt-get install pylint
Hangs for a very long time, and starting emacs after that hangs for a
very long time - it shows `Loading pylint...` in the minibuffer while
hanging.
$ dpkg -l | egrep 'pylint|emacs'
ii emacs 46.1
all GNU Emacs editor (metapackage)
ii emacs24 24.5+1-1ubuntu2
amd64 GNU Emacs editor (with GTK+ GUI support)
ii emacs24-bin-common 24.5+1-1ubuntu2
amd64 GNU Emacs editor's shared, architecture dependent files
ii emacs24-common 24.5+1-1ubuntu2
all GNU Emacs editor's shared, architecture independent
infrastructure
ii emacs24-common-non-dfsg 24.4+1-2
all GNU Emacs common non-DFSG items, including the core
documentation
ii emacsen-common 2.0.8
all Common facilities for all emacsen
ii maxima-emacs 5.36.1-1
all Computer algebra system -- emacs interface
ii pylint 1.3.1-3ubuntu1
all Python code static checker and UML diagram generator
What I don't understand is that this combo has worked ever since I
installed wily, and I haven't updated emacs or pylint for over a month.
