Hi there, I'm very pleased to announce the 0.6 release of PyLint. This release fix a lot of bugs and should be much more stable than the 0.5 release where stopping actual import of analyzed modules has been introduced (and that's really a huge improvment, since this was potentialy introducing some side effects). There are also more documentation, a better test suite, and also minor new features was added. Every users of pylint should update to 0.6. Notice that Logilab's common library 0.9 is required (http://www.logilab.org/projects/common).
Enjoy ! What's new ? ------------ * refix pylint emacs mode * no more traceback when just typing "pylint" * fix a bug which may cause crashes on resolving parent classes * fix problems with the format checker: don't chock on files containing multiple CR, avoid C0322, C0323, C0324 false positives with triple quoted string with quote inside * correctly detect access to member defined latter in __init__ method * now depends on common 0.8.1 to fix problem with interface resolution (close #8606) * new --list-msgs option describing available checkers and their messages * added windows specific documentation to the README file, contributed by Brian van den Broek * updated doc/features.txt (actually this file is now generated using the --list-msgs option), more entries into the FAQ * improved tests coverage What is pylint ? ---------------- Pylint is a python tool that checks if a module satisfy a coding standard. Pylint can be seen as another pychecker since nearly all tests you can do with pychecker can also be done with Pylint. But Pylint offers some more features, like checking line-code's length, checking if variable names are well-formed according to your coding standard, or checking if declared interfaces are truly implemented, and much more (see http://www.logilab.org/pylint/ for the complete check list). The big advantage with Pylint is that it is highly configurable, customizable, and you can easily write a small plugin to add a personal feature. The usage it quite simple : $ pylint mypackage.mymodule This command will output all the errors and warnings related to the tested code (here : mypackage.mymodule), will dump a little summary at the end, and will give a mark to the tested code.
