Description-en: comprehensive static Python code analyzer
Prospector analyzes Python source files and puts out information about
coding errors, potential problems, convention violation and unnecessary
complexity.
.
It provides an uniform and flexible interface for these tools:
- Pylint (extensive Python code checker)
- Pyflakes (checks Python code for logical errors)
- Pep8 (checks for Python coding style conventions)
- Pep8-naming (checks for naming conventions not covered by Pep8)
- McCabe (checks for cyclomatic code complexity)
- Pep257 (checks for compliance with the docstring conventions)
- Dodgy (checks for hard coded passwords, VCS diff checkins etc.)
- Vulture (scans Python programs for unused code)
- Pyroma (Python packaging quality checker)
.
Prospector detects if code employs specific frameworks and libraries,
and checks them by corresponding Pylint plugins:
- Django (web application framework)
- Celery (asynchronous task/job queue)
- Flask (web application framework)
