Hello all, I recently integrated pyflakes into Leo <http://leoeditor.com/> and am awed by its speed and elegance. Its simplicity is pure genius. A few days ago I set up the pyflakes-study google group <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/pyflakes-study> and corresponding github repo <https://github.com/edreamleo/pyflakes-study> and have been happily playing around with the pyflakes code ever since. To properly see what I have done you will have to look at the .leo file with Leo.
To paraphrase Richard Feynman, that which I cannot alter I do not understand. By this criterion I now understand almost every line of pyflakes. Hehe. It's possible to speed up pyflakes by at least 10% by using a less elegant traversal scheme, as describe here <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/pyflakes-study/amxtB0MKOGI>. Not sure whether you would be interested--there are some drawbacks. It's also possible to speed up pyflakes by an additional 5% merely by removing the scope property, as described in today's post <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/pyflakes-study/9WoO9shG5fk>. This post also describes a buglet in pyflakes and its fix. Most of today's post is geared toward a new tool I am considering. This would compare name conventions with actual usage. The first phase might be a scope resolver, using a simplified version of the pyflakes code. The second phase will have to do a whole lot more with Ast.Attribute :-) You might call the new tool a follow up to my make-stub-files project <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/python-static-type-checking/n68MH1xoOwE>, with corresponding github repo <https://github.com/edreamleo/make-stub-files>. I announced make-stub-files in my largely unsuccessful python-static-typechecking <https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21forum/python-static-type-checking> group. Boy, am I happy mypy <http://mypy-lang.org/> is doing the heavy lifting. I would appreciate any comments, suggestions and corrections you might have.
