Statically check your Python code
Project description
py_static_check
py_static_check can statically check your Python code for a lot of common errors. It uses a modified pyflakes code and extends with following things:
Ability to specify what star imports resolve to (-s argument)
Ability to ignore unused import warnings (-i argument)
Better sorting of warnings/errors
For more information check out:
To install it do following:
sudo easy_install py_static_check
Here are some of the things py_static_check can do.
Catch undefined names, even for star imports
Example code:
from os import * def function_with_error(): print path print paths
star_imports.py:
import os STAR_IMPORTS = { 'os': os.__all__, }
When ran with py_static_check:
$ py_static_check -s tests/star_import.py tests/undefined_name_star.py tests/undefined_name.py:5: undefined name 'paths
Ignore not used warnings
Exampel code:
from os import path
When ran with py_static_check -i option:
$ py_static_check -i tests/ignore_not_used.py $ py_static_check tests/ignore_not_used.py tests/ignore_not_used.py:10: 'path' imported but unused
Assigned but never used
Like pyflakes it can catch a lot of errors, such as defining a variable without using it.
Exampel code:
def some_function(): def inner_fn(): local_var = ""
When ran with py_static_check:
$ py_static_check tests/assigned_but_never_used.py tests/assigned_but_never_used.py:8: local variable 'local_var' is assigned to but never used
