Linting python code...

[Andrew Markebo]

Alalalala lint.. alalalala lint...

Ehm

Are there any python-code linter out there - or the code is so easy to
write that it always is so perfekt?

PyFlakes http://divmod.org/trac/wiki/DivmodPyflakes

It doesn't do nearly as much as the other two but doesn't import the
modules, so it can be used in places the others can't.

I thought PyLint doesn't import modules either. Am I mistaken?

My impression was that PyLint only inspects the AST (using the astng
package), whereas PyChecker can be asked to do only that, or to
actually import the modules as well.
