It is focused on +identifying common errors quickly without executing Python code. + +Its primary advantage over PyChecker is that it is fast. You don't have +to sit around for minutes waiting for the checker to run; it runs on most +large projects in only a few seconds. + +The two primary categories of defects reported by PyFlakes are: +* Names which are used but not defined or used before they are defined +* Names which are redefined without having been used + +These can each take many forms. For example, PyFlakes will tell you when +you have forgotten an import, mistyped a variable name, defined two +functions with the same name, shadowed a variable from another scope, +imported a module twice, or two different modules with the same name, and +so on. + |
