Pylint, at least our current version (still 1.4.4 as some more recent
versions are apparently much slower), may choke on some imports on the
first validation since Zope was started, only to later succeed. Hypothesis
is that it fails to analyse some imported modules, leaving empty shells
behind in some cache, making a second test avoid the error.
Here is one such error:

The last navigation step is intended to pull an anonymous-accessible
document. ERP5Site is too magic a document to have a representative
behaviour.

These are useless, git complain about them and they cause unnecessary diffs when having editor configured to automatically remove spaces at end of lines, so let's do a big commit to remove them all at once

See merge request !1672

done with:

    find product/ bt5 -name '*.py' | xargs -n 1 sed -i 's/ *$//'

fixup!  * Fix escaping chars in FormGroup title  * Use lxml to produce XML view  * Update XMLToForm to follow escaping changes

some elements were double escaped.

It seems to accept int, but version is supposed to be a string.

See merge request nexedi/erp5!1671

a modified version from $366
that supports patterns like
DateTime(2001, 02, 03) => DateTime(2001, 2, 3)
and not DateTime(2001, 0o2, 0o3)

Javascript does not support big integers, so the backend have to be
careful not to return too large numbers in the json. Nowadays there
is bigint, but not equivalent for decimal numbers, so the backend
tries to detect if numbers are too big and returns them as string
in that case - which is better than returning a different number
because it displays correctly in the result table. The pivot table
will still wrong, but at least the table of results is OK.
