Doug Hellmann: Static Code Analizers for Python | And Now For Something Completely Different

  • Jamie Kirkpatrick · 8 months ago
    Great article Doug - thanks for the round-up. Your thoughts helped me assess where to jump on board with this task. I've run with PyLint for now since its more comprehensive than any other tool: takes a while to get a config sorted but I think its worth the effort. Also, its a bit disconcerting to go back to C++ type build times, but again, worth it for bugs caught I hope!

    It does feel a little weird to have to "build" a Python app in that way, doesn't it? :-) Of course, you don't have to do it for every code change, so if you think of it more like running a coverage tool or test suite then it's not as bad.

    A very nice article that I could quickly adapt to my own development needs.
