NAME
pychecker - program to check python scripts for common mistakesSYNOPSIS
pychecker [options] files...
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the pychecker command. It was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.pychecker is a program that finds common bugs in python source code. It finds problems that are typically caught by a compiler for less dynamic languages, like C and C++. Because of the dynamic nature of python, some warnings may be incorrect; however, spurious warnings should be fairly infrequent.
pychecker works in a combination of ways. First, it imports each module. If there is an import error, the module cannot be processed. The import provides some basic information about the module. The code for each function, class, and method is checked for possible problems.
CHOICE OF PYTHON VERSION
By default, the /usr/bin/pychecker script executes pychecker using the default Python interpreter in /usr/bin/python. Some users may want to run pychecker with a different Python interpreter. To accommodate this, the
/usr/bin/pychecker script supports the use of $PYTHONVER on the command-line, i.e.
- PYTHONVER=2.3 pychecker file.py
If $PYTHONVER is set, /usr/bin/pychecker will attempt to execute pychecker using /usr/bin/python$PYTHONVER instead of /usr/bin/python.
Note, however, that this will only work for versions of the python interpreter supported by the current Debian Python infrastructure, not for any arbitrary Python interpreter installed in /usr/bin.
