Scame Static Checker

Scame is a fork of pocket-lint by Curtis Hovey https://launchpad.net/pocket-lint

This is MIT / X / Expat Licence

There is now a different pocketlint on GitHub, but that is a different project.. and that is GPL.

It continues to be a composite linter and style checker target on Python.

It has the following goals:

• Provides a consistent report of issues raised by the subordinate checkers.
• Alternate reports can be written to change the report, or integrate the report into another application.
• Read a line, file or parse AST only once and pass it to the checkers.
• Supports checking of multiple source types:
  • Python files using pyflakes
  • XML/HTML style and entities
  • JSON data structure syntax
  • reStructured Text style
  • Plain text
• Support checking different source parts using different configurations.
• Use soft dependencies on the checker. Only import it when enabled.
• You can ignore a single line for all reports using ` # noqa` marker.
• You can ignore a single like for all reports from a category using the ` # noqa:CATEGORY` marker.
• For CSS and JS is better to use node.js based tools as they are the future.
