A new version of PyChecker is available. This is mostly a bug fix release. 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. Changes from 0.8.8 to 0.8.9: * Add -3/--properties warning when using properties with classic classes * Add more warnings for statements with no effect * Fix crash due to import module problems * Fix crash with nested scopes * Fix spurious warnings about module attributes and importing * Fix spurious warnings in Python 2.2 when using builtin classes (eg, socket) * Fix spurious warning for format string problem when using % at module scope * Fix spurious warning for implicit returns when doing while 1: * Fix spurious warning for inconsistent return types when objects are subclasses * Don't warn about inconsistent return types from __getattr[ibute]__ * Always assume readline module is used if input/raw_input is used PyChecker is available on Source Forge: Web page: http://pychecker.sourceforge.net/ Project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pychecker/ Neal -- pychecker@metaslash.com
