Here an (overly) simple approach:

for i in $(ag --python -l) ; do pylint-3 --errors-only $i | grep
'inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation' && echo $i ; done
E:161, 0: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation
(<string>, line 161) (syntax-error)
scripts/v.rast.stats/v.rast.stats.py
E: 40, 0: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation
(<string>, line 40) (syntax-error)
raster/r.reclass/testsuite/test_r_reclass.py

(the first has just been fixed by Anna)
