Pylint is a static code analysis tool for the Python programming language. It is named following a common convention in Python of a "py" prefix, and a nod to the C programming lint program. It follows the style recommended by PEP 8, the Python style guide.[3] It is similar to Pychecker and Pyflakes, but includes the following features:
- Checking the length of each line
- Checking that variable names are well-formed according to the project's coding standard
- Checking that declared interfaces are truly implemented.[4]
It is also equipped with the Pyreverse module that allows UML diagrams to be generated from Python code.
It can be used as a stand-alone program, but also integrates with IDEs such as Eclipse with PyDev,[5] Spyder and Visual Studio Code,[6] and editors such as Atom,[7] GNU Emacs and Vim.
It has received favourable reviews.[8][9][10]
