Thank you for your reply, Maarten.  I would like to disable this message
in the same way that I locally disable other messages in pylint.  For
example, if I want to not include a docstring for just one function in a
file, I would use:

# pylint: disable-msg=C0111
def function_with_no_docstring(self):
	...

My main problem is that the "similar lines" checker (R0801 above)
catches similar import statements in different files.  I would like to
get these messages where they are useful (where there is a possibility
to refactor copy-and-pasted code), so I don't want to disable it
completely.  However, I cannot seem to accomplish with R0801 what I have
with other messages. (locally disabling the message for particular lines
of code.)

Thanks again for your reply, and thanks for any help.
