Question

Is there a tool to help find bugs or perform the static analysis?

Answer 1

There are two tools that I'm aware of:

• PyChecker is a static analysis tool that finds bugs in Python source code and warns about code complexity and style. You can get PyChecker from http://pychecker.sourceforge.net/.
• Pylint is another tool that checks if a module satisfies a coding standard, and also makes it possible to write plug-ins to add a custom feature.
