Skipping over some of the wrangling about where it goes for a minute, is there any firm consensus on which tool to put in? I've only heard back from pylint, and there seems to be a general feeling that that's the strictest (and therefore best), but that its external dependencies constitute a liability. Does anybody have a firm objection on that score?
Not a firm objection: pylint is also the most complex (AFAICT). Perhaps a simpler one that still does a good job would be best for stdlib consideration.
+1, something which does simple linting, and pep 8 checking would be a big enough benefit over what we have now. Ideally, it would support extensibility for additional rules. jesse
