To my horror, someone pointed out to me yesterday that a web app I wrote has been prominently displaying a misspelled word. The word was buried in my code.
Is there a utility out there that will help spell-check literal strings entered into Python source code? I don't mean spell-check strings entered by the user; I mean, go through the .py file, isolate strings, and tell me when the strings contain misspelled words. In an ideal world, my IDE would do this with a red wavy line. I guess a second-best thing would be an easy technique to open a .py file and isolate all strings in it. (I know that the better practice is to isolate user-displayed strings from the code, but in this case that just didn't happen.) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
