[code-quality] false positive undefined-variable

[Andrew Farrell]

The first time I tried reproducing this, I got

  ************* Module testtom
  C:  1, 0: Missing module docstring (missing-docstring)
  E:  5,10: Undefined variable 'row' (undefined-variable)
  W:  1,16: Unused argument 'now' (unused-argument)

After fixing my typo, I only see the error
  C:  1, 0: Missing module docstring (missing-docstring)

so perhaps you've got a typo
