I've been searching for a good multi-module lint checker for Python and
I haven't found one yet.
Pylint does a decent job at checking for errors only within a single
module.
Here's one of my problems. I have two modules.
In module one, I have a function:
def foo( host, userid, password ):
pass
In module two, I call that function:
foo( userid, password)
lint doesn't find that error and it won't be caught until it's called
while the program is running. I don't want that error found at 3AM.
I've never used a language that didn't catch that type of error. I'm
quite surprised that Python is being used by a number of major
companies. How you catch these types of errors?
I've spoken to tech support at Wing and they weren't aware of a
multi-module lint but they're considering putting their own lint into
their IDE.
Thank you

The example you gave is specific. You could catch that one by hand.
But, would it hurt, perhaps by causing neglect of other errors; and
would it be worth the effort? And, if you're using any dynamics at all,
catching that one's even in question.
from mod import foo
bar= foo
bar( arg1, arg2 )
It would add difficulty to catching by hand. Same with variable
argument lists.
from mod import foo
args= ( arg1, arg2 )
foo( *args )
If you could knock off an error and ignore the false positives, that
might be worth an afternoon.
