IMHO this tool is of pretty dubious value. I mean that function is long for sure, but it is by no means a serious problem in the Nova libvirt codebase. The stuff it complains about in the libvirt/config.py file is just incredibly stupid thing to highlight.
I find a lot of the OpenStack code very hard to read. If it is very hard to read it is very hard to maintain, whether that means fix or improve. That said, the value I see in these kinds of tools is not specifically in preventing complexity, but in providing entry points for people who want to fix things. You don't know where to start (because you haven't yet got the insight or experience): run flake8 or pylint or some other tools, do what it tells you. In the process you will: * learn more about the code * probably find bugs * make an incremental improvement to something that needs it -- Chris Dent tw:@anticdent freenode:cdent https://tank.peermore.com/tanks/cdent _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
