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
