These aren't ready for upstream inclusion, because they do not properly
manage version dependencies, execution environment and so on. These are
just the tools I use in my Own Special Environment :tm: for testing and
debugging.

I *think*, but can't exhaustively guarantee, that these should
work:

Python >= 3.6
isort >= 5.7.0  (But possibly earlier)
mypy >= 0.770   (Currently using 0.800)
pylint >= 2.6.0 (Currently using 2.7.4)

My python packaging series does a more exhaustive treatment and
exploration of minimum package requirements; eventually these two series
will converge and these dependencies will be handled in one place.
