Where does PySonar2 sit in the spectrum from pylint

I use pylint and pyflakes a lot, and I've heard that PyChecker sits in
between them on this axis.
My impression is that PyChecker has been abandoned.
The last commit in its SourceForge CVS repo is from 2008, and `pip
install PyChecker` fails.

Hi Chris,
I can't comment on the comparative sophistication of PySonar2 to pylint and
pyflakes, my experience of those two projects is as code quality tools, whereas
I've been using PySonar2 for things along the lines of indexing code at a more
semantic level, something I'm satisfied with.
Here's a comment on a reddit post about PySonar a month ago
http://www.reddit.com/comments/1piusr

Yin Wang is awesome and his work on programming languages and type inference is
super impressive. We've been using his PySonar (v1) to build a global index of
Python code and it works far better than we or anyone would have expected, for
a dynamic language.
Here are some examples of what PySonar can do:
Finding everywhere a function is used
Python stdlib, sorted by most-used functions
All usages of the Django URL render_to_response function
All usages of the Flask @app.route decorator
This is all done using PySonar v1-based static analysis on Python code. PySonar
v2 is even better.
`
I've referred Yin to this google group post.
Looks like very good work, thanks for the data.
But please note that I'm reading this via email, not google groups. If
you'd care to look above, you'll observe the double line spacing that
gets inserted into everything that we see from gg, unless you read and
action this https://wiki.python.org/moin/GoogleGroupsPython If you'd be
kind enough to do this it would be greatly appreciated by many people
here. TIA.

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
what you can do for our language.
