PyFlakes a Lint-like tool for Python, like PyChecker. It is focused on
|
|
identifying common errors quickly without executing Python code.
|
|
|
|
Its primary advantage over PyChecker is that it is fast. You don't
|
|
have to sit around for minutes waiting for the checker to run; it runs
|
|
on most large projects in only a few seconds.
|
|
|
|
The two primary categories of defects reported by PyFlakes are:
|
|
* Names which are used but not defined or used before they are defined
|
|
* Names which are redefined without having been used
|
|
|
|
These can each take many forms. For example, PyFlakes will tell you
|
|
when you have forgotten an import, mistyped a variable name, defined
|
|
two functions with the same name, shadowed a variable from another
|
|
scope, imported a module twice, or two different modules with the same
|
|
name, and so on.
