[Python-Dev] Coverity Scan Spotlight Python

[Sturla Molden]

Do the numbers add up?

.005 defects in 1,000 lines of code is one defect in every 200,000 lines of code. 

However they also claim that "to date, the Coverity Scan service has analyzed nearly 400,000 lines of Python code and identified 996 new defects – 860 of which have been fixed by the Python community."
