There is some code in pylint to automagically find and use a
pylintrc file in the project tree. I remember Adrien fixing things on
this part of pylint to get it to work better in our projects, so maybe
it is broken in the currently released version. 

Looking at the code in the dev branch, it looks for a file in the
current working directory, then in all the parent directories while
there is an __init__.py file in these directories. If this does not
work, in looks for the PYLINTRC environmen variable, and then in
~/.pylintrc and /etc/pylintrc. 

So if you cannot ensure that pylint will be run from a specific
directory which contains the pylintrc file, a good option is to provide
a small wrapper script which exports the PYLINTRC environment variable
(or position the --rc-file option)
