Lint is a tool that analyses code for all kinds of languages, including  
Python, and scores it against various definable metrics. The idea is to  
encourage code readability and best practices. I imagine that for more  
"predictable" parts of code like unit tests it might be possible to use it  
to encourage a uniform style such as TestMock seems to promise for  
VisualStudio http://site.typemock.com/test-lint/

I'll admit to not using PyLint (from Nuxeo) myself on a regular basis but  
this is as much down to not knowing how to configure it to work with Zope  
projects as much as anything else. But maybe we can add it to anything the  
repository policy checker?
