I've always used pyflakes simply because it's fast - it analyzes the source of your python module; it doesn't try to import making configuration as easy as typing "pyflakes foo.py".
Brett, I'll look at pyflakes to learn how it differs from pylint.
I can't comment on python-pylint.el - I'm not familiar with it. Many of us are using flymake and pyflakes to do on the fly syntax checking in Emacs. Flymake is a framework for emacs that provides hooks for doing on the fly syntax checking: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/FlyMake
I saw that page on the wiki but did not appreciate that it provides on-the-fly checks and eliminates the need to manually invoke a checker.
Chris M. explains a basic setup here: http://www.plope.com/Members/chrism/flymake-mode For a more sophisticated setup, see my dotfile repo and Jason K's pycheckers script: http://bitbucket.org/jek/sandbox/src/tip/pycheckers http://bitbucket.org/zbskii/misc/src/tip/.emacs
Great! I'll read these for insights and help.
Hope this helps.
Sure does. Many thanks. BTW, have you any suggestions or recommendations on refactoring tools? Rich _______________________________________________ Portland mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/portland
