Hi folks, For the first time I'm playing with the "-c" argument to test.py. Thought it would be nice to get some pychecker output on the Products I'm working on. Is there any way to reduce the scope of what pychecker checks? Or does it inevitably walk through the whole import tree? Has anybody actually found the -c option useful? Any tips on using pychecker effectively for product development? Aside from the fact that it's bothersome to deal with the output, because pychecker wants to spew commentary on every little wart in the entire Zope codebase (2.7.7 in my case)- and it finds no shortage of them .... I guess I could filter the output with grep.... But regardless of all that, there's a showstopper - before it even gets to my products, pychecker barfs on DBTab (which must come from somewhere pretty deep in there, as my code doesn't use it)... like so: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/zope/ZopeSoftwareHome/lib/python/Zope/Startup/datatypes.py", line 106, in importable_name package = __import__(n, g, g, component) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pychecker/checker.py", line 767, in __import__ pymodule = _orig__import__(name, globals, locals, fromlist) File "/zope/ZopeSoftwareHome/lib/python/DBTab/ClassFactories.py", line 18, in ? import OFS.Uninstalled File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pychecker/checker.py", line 767, in __import__ pymodule = _orig__import__(name, globals, locals, fromlist) File "/zope/ZopeSoftwareHome/lib/python/OFS/Uninstalled.py", line 16, in ? import SimpleItem, Globals, Acquisition File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pychecker/checker.py", line 767, in __import__ pymodule = _orig__import__(name, globals, locals, fromlist) File "/zope/ZopeSoftwareHome/lib/python/OFS/SimpleItem.py", line 23, in ? import re, sys, Globals, App.Management, Acquisition, App.Undo File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pychecker/checker.py", line 767, in __import__ pymodule = _orig__import__(name, globals, locals, fromlist) File "/zope/ZopeSoftwareHome/lib/python/Globals.py", line 23, in ? import Acquisition, ComputedAttribute, App.PersistentExtra, os File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pychecker/checker.py", line 767, in __import__ pymodule = _orig__import__(name, globals, locals, fromlist) File "/zope/ZopeSoftwareHome/lib/python/App/PersistentExtra.py", line 14, in ? from class_init import default__class_init__ File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pychecker/checker.py", line 767, in __import__ pymodule = _orig__import__(name, globals, locals, fromlist) File "/zope/ZopeSoftwareHome/lib/python/App/class_init.py", line 14, in ? from AccessControl.PermissionRole import PermissionRole File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pychecker/checker.py", line 767, in __import__ pymodule = _orig__import__(name, globals, locals, fromlist) File "/zope/ZopeSoftwareHome/lib/python/AccessControl/__init__.py", line 16, i n ? import DTML File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pychecker/checker.py", line 767, in __import__ pymodule = _orig__import__(name, globals, locals, fromlist) File "/zope/ZopeSoftwareHome/lib/python/AccessControl/DTML.py", line 18, in ? from DocumentTemplate import DT_Util File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pychecker/checker.py", line 767, in __import__ pymodule = _orig__import__(name, globals, locals, fromlist) File "/zope/ZopeSoftwareHome/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/__init__.py", line 22 , in ? from DocumentTemplate import String, File, HTML, HTMLDefault, HTMLFile File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pychecker/checker.py", line 767, in __import__ pymodule = _orig__import__(name, globals, locals, fromlist) File "/zope/ZopeSoftwareHome/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DocumentTemplate.py", line 112, in ? from DT_String import String, File File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pychecker/checker.py", line 767, in __import__ pymodule = _orig__import__(name, globals, locals, fromlist) File "/zope/ZopeSoftwareHome/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py", line 1 7, in ? from DT_Util import ParseError, InstanceDict, TemplateDict, render_blocks, s tr File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pychecker/checker.py", line 767, in __import__ pymodule = _orig__import__(name, globals, locals, fromlist) File "/zope/ZopeSoftwareHome/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_Util.py", line 42, in ? from cDocumentTemplate import InstanceDict, TemplateDict, \ File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pychecker/checker.py", line 767, in __import__ pymodule = _orig__import__(name, globals, locals, fromlist) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pychecker/checker.py", line 767, in __import__ pymodule = _orig__import__(name, globals, locals, fromlist) ImportError: No module named html_quote -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com
