Using Fedora 40

pylint 3.2.5
astroid 3.2.3
Python 3.12.4 (main, Jun  7 2024, 00:00:00) [GCC 14.1.1 20240607 (Red Hat 14.1.1-5)]

reports hundreds of issues related to pylint identifying uninitialized variable access, mostly in the cases where we handle PY2/PY3 compatibility. 

************* Module examples
doc/examples/examples.py:161: [E0606(possibly-used-before-assignment), exshowuser] Possibly using variable 'unicode' before assignment)
...
import six
if six.PY3:
    unicode = str
...
    has_output = (
...
        output.Output('result', dict, 'user entry without DN'),
        output.Output('dn', unicode, 'DN of the user entry', ['no_display']),
    )

There are thousands of issues like this. It looks like pylint started to treat its model of Python environment differently.
