Regarding the work you would like to do with pylint / astng, the best would probably to start discuss about them on this mailing list. I've read your document, and there are some things that are imo already like this or on the way to become so. For instance, pylint is already generating ast for all files it received as argument before starting the analysis. Also, Emile is currently working on a big astng refactoring to provide our own representation instead of monkey patching compiler/_ast. Emile, could you publish your work in a branch of the astng repo and then we could start discuss about it here, and maybe Edward could tell how it fits his ideas. Also, Edward, do you have an account on logilab.org so I can grant you developper access to pylint / astng? Last but not least, it would be great if we could meet to talk about pylint future! I plan to organize the second pylint bugs day on 2010/04/16, would it be possible for you to come visit us in Paris on that day? > P.S. Oh yes. Did I tell you how much I admire pylint?

Many thanks, Sylvain, for this great work. very nice to hear, thank you :) > P.P.S. Is there a theory of operations document for pylint? I'm at > the point now in my study where it would be most useful. well, not really but you can find some valuable information by searching archives of this list. Anyway, be sure I will do everything I can do to have more community involvment in pylint, so I'm definitly willing to help you or others to contribute. -- Sylvain Thénault LOGILAB, Paris (France) Formations Python, Debian, Méth.
