PyChecker
PyChecker is a tool for finding common bugs in Python source code. It finds problems that are typically caught by a compiler (or lint) for less dynamic languages, like C and C++. Common errors that can be found include forgetting to import a module, misspelling a variable, passing the wrong number of parameters to a function/method, and not using a module/variable.
