README for Pylint - http://www.pylint.org/ | |
========================================== | |
Pylint is a Python source code analyzer which looks for programming errors, | |
helps enforcing a coding standard and sniffs for some code smells (as defined in | |
Martin Fowler's Refactoring book). | |
Pylint has many rules enabled by default, way too much to silence them all on a | |
minimally sized program. It's highly configurable and handle pragmas to control | |
it from within your code. Additionally, it is possible to write plugins to add | |
your own checks. | |
It's a free software distributed under the GNU Public Licence. | |
Development is hosted on bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/logilab/pylint/ | |
You can use the code-quality@python.org mailing list to discuss about | |

Install | |
------- | |
Pylint requires astroid package (the later the better). | |
* https://bitbucket.org/logilab/astroid | |
Installation should be as simple as :: | |
python -m pip install astroid | |
If you want to install from a source distribution, extract the tarball and run | |
the following commands :: | |
hg update master | |
python setup.py install | |
You'll have to install dependencies in a similar way. For debian and | |
rpm packages, use your usual tools according to your Linux distribution. | |
More information about installation and available distribution format | |
may be found in the user manual in the *doc* subdirectory. | |
