Should we give another look to something like pep8.py, then? Less complex, certainly, no dependencies and it runs cleanly under python3 after running it through 2to3. On the minus side, it is *much* less rigorous.

I've also just heard back from the maintainer of pyflakes, and he seems pretty happy with the idea. Here's the email: Geremy, I maintain Pyflakes and am an employee of the company responsible for its development. I think it's a good idea; Pyflakes is definitely an important part of my development process. There are pretty diverse opinions about how thorough and punctilious Python code checkers should try to be, so there are a bunch of relatively popular programs with vaguely similar functionality. I'm a fan of Pyflakes in particular because it's quick, passive and not overly ambitious or presumptious. Let me know how things work out. Take care, Moe So, are there any particular objections to pyflakes? Does anybody have a strong preference for pylint, pep8.py, or pychecker over pyflakes? Geremy Condra
