Special thanks to Ken Pronovici. He did a lot of work for this
release and helped ensure it occurred.
Version 0.8.15 of PyChecker is available. It's been over a year since
the last release. Wow, time really does fly. Since it's been so long
I'm sure I screwed something up, treat it delicately. It may have bugs
and erase your hard drive. If that happens, look on the bright side,
you won't have any more bugs. :-)
PyChecker is a tool for finding bugs in Python source code.
It finds problems that are typically caught by a compiler for less
dynamic languages, like C and C++. It is similar to lint.
Comments, criticisms, new ideas, and other feedback is welcome.
Since I expect there may be a bit more bugs than normal, I will try to
put out another release in a few weeks. Please file bug reports
including problems with installation, false positives, &c on Source Forge.
You are welcome to use the mailling list to discuss anything pychecker
related, including ideas for new checks.
