Hi All, Pydev and Pydev Extensions 1.2.8 have been released Details on Pydev Extensions: http://www.fabioz.com/pydev Details on Pydev: http://pydev.sf.net Details on its development: http://pydev.blogspot.com Release Highlights in Pydev Extensions: ----------------------------------------------------------------- * Code-analysis: when a compare statement is found out of a test scope, that's reported as a warning * Mark Occurrences: new option to choose whether strings and comments should be highlighted * Simple Completions: some keywords were removed from the default list (the 2-letter ones because they're barely worth it and those related to 'try', as there's already an assistant that creates 'try' blocks) * Rename refactoring / Mark Occurrences: matches in multi-line strings are now correct Release Highlights in Pydev: ---------------------------------------------- * Refactoring: integration of the PEPTIC refactoring engine * Package Explorer: many fixes (special thanks for Don Taylor for the bug reports) * Debugger: a number of small optimizations * Code-completion: works in emacs mode * Code-completion: added the possibility of auto-completing for all letter chars and '_' (so, it starts completing once you start writing) * Code-completion: code-completion for epydoc inside strings * Code-completion: assigns after global statement considered added to the global namespace * Code-completion: now works when a class is declared in a nested scope * Code-completion: if multiple assigns are found to some variable, the completion will be a merge of them * Code-completion: functions are analyzed for their return values for code-completion purposes * Code-completion: working on multi-line imports * Code-completion: can discover instance variables not declared in the class (in the scope where the class was instanced) * Auto-edit: adds 'self', 'cls' or no parameter based on the @clasmethod, @staticmethod declaration on previous line * Auto-edit: doesn't add 'self' if a method is declared in a method inner scope * Fix: BRM Refactoring: wrong column was being passed to the BRM refactoring engine * Code-folding: added for comments and strings * Fix: sometimes the 'create docstring' assistant was not recognizing method definitons What is PyDev? --------------------------- PyDev is a plugin that enables users to use Eclipse for Python and Jython development -- making Eclipse a first class Python IDE -- It comes with many goodies such as code completion, syntax highlighting, syntax analysis, refactor, debug and many others.

[ANN] pylint 0.13 / astng 0.17
by Sylvain Thénault 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

Hi there! I'm very pleased to announce new releases of pylint (0.13) and its underlying library astng (0.17). The PyLint release contains a bunch of bugs fixes, some new checks and command line changes, and a new checker dedicated to Restricted Python checking. If this doesn't sound familiar to you, visit the PyPy_ project web site for more information. The astng release contains a lot of inference fixes and enhancement, so even if pylint should still works with the old version you're strongly encouraged to upgrade. .. _PyPy: http://codespeak.net/pypy/ What is pylint ? ---------------- Pylint is a python tool that checks if a module satisfy a coding standard. Pylint can be seen as another pychecker since nearly all tests you can do with pychecker can also be done with Pylint. But Pylint offers some more features, like checking line-code's length, checking if variable names are well-formed according to your coding standard, or checking if declared interfaces are truly implemented, and much more (see http://www.logilab.org/projects/pylint/ for the complete check list). The big advantage with Pylint is that it is highly configurable, customizable, and you can easily write a small plugin to add a personal feature. The usage it quite simple : $ pylint mypackage.mymodule This command will output all the errors and warnings related to the tested code (here : mypackage.mymodule), will dump a little summary at the end, and will give a mark to the tested code. Pylint is free software distributed under the GNU Public Licence.
