Pylint last version(1.4.1), at least, reports an
unbalanced-tuple-unpacking warning[1] in keepalived[2] module because
self.authentication is defined as an empty tuple in __init__ method and
unpacked in build_config method as if it was a 2-tuple.
self.authentication references an empty tuple (defined in __init__
method) or a 2-tuple (updated in set_authentication method). Such
warning is a false positive because the unpacking is only performed if
self.authentication is not evaluated to false which only appends if
self.authentication is a 2-tuple.
Defining self.authentication as None in __init__ avoids such warning
without disabling unbalanced-tuple-unpacking warning check.
