PyChecker + PyLint ?
date
Hi everyone,2005/09/01 17:28
I'm writing this to follow up on a discussion I started earlier today with
Neal and Eric. I'm putting together an open source course on basic
software development skills for the Python Software Foundation [1]. As
part of that, I'd like to introduce students to style-checking tools ---
we've used Checkstyle for Java programs here at the University of Toronto
with considerable success, and I find it's a good way to get students to
start thinking about programs as data.
I asked Neal if there had been any discussions about unifying the
PyChecker and PyLint projects. They seem to have similar goals, so I
can't help but feel the community would be better off if they were to
unite. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Greg
