It's a bit of a hack, but what you can do is something like:

config = config  # noqa: F821

or if you use pylint as well:

config = config  # noqa: F821 pylint: disable=E0602,C0103

at the top of your script, and flake8 won't complain about it anymore
elsewhere.

FWIW I wouldn't mind having a better way to do this either. It's a
somewhat common thing in projects using Python for configuration that
you have some config object injected into the namespace of your script,
and I'd much rather continue using flake8 in my editor for it (or
rather, for any *.py file) than not benefiting from it at all ;-)

By the way, your "subscribe" email went to the list. Command mails like
this should go to the address you get when adding "-request" to the list
address, i.e. code-quality-request at python.org here. I *think* you are
subscribed now or you probably couldn't post, but I'm not sure.

Florian
