Pyflakes

Pyflakes is a simple program which checks Python source files for errors. It is similar to PyChecker in scope, but differs in that it does not execute the modules to check them. This is both safer and faster, although it does not perform as many checks. Unlike PyLint, Pyflakes checks only for logical errors in programs; it does not perform any checks on style.

Getting Pyflakes

Download the latest release tarball, 0.2.1, easilly installed with the Python standard distutils.

The latest code is also available from subversion:

svn co http://divmod.org/svn/Divmod/trunk/Pyflakes

The sources on subversion also include an exhaustive battery of tests, including some known false-errors and some tests that would be nice to perform. These tests can be run with 'trial', part of Twisted.
