Hi,
Recently, tirkarthi (xtreak) works on finding and fixing typos.
And I (18z) came up with the idea of creating a spellcheck bot to improve
the quality of cpython.
We had discussion in https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/13749
And it is summarized below:
Consensus:
-
Reducing typo in a constructive way.
To be Solved:
-
Even after reducing the code checked, there will still be mostly false
positives.
-
High frequency of updating dictionary.txt (false positive typo).
Next Step:
-
Interfacing the filter with aspell to get some numbers.
MISC:
-
The report could be made optional with a spellcheck label.
-
Code for reducing .py files to strings and comments.
-
Command line for spellcheck.
There are problems to be solved.
But I think we can always find a better solution.
So, I’ll be working on interfacing the filter with aspell to get some
numbers.
Looking forward to hearing more opinions. :D
Thanks
