+Pylint is a python tool that checks if a module satisfies a coding standard.
+Pylint can be seen as another PyChecker since nearly all tests you can do with
+PyChecker can also be done with Pylint. But Pylint offers some more features,
+like checking line-code's length, checking if variable names are well-formed
+according to your coding standard, or checking if declared interfaces are truly
+implemented, and much more (see the complete check list).
+
+The big advantage with Pylint is that it is highly configurable, customizable,
+and you can easily write a small plugin to add a personal feature.
