DesignPy

This tool provides feedback on the design and style of Python code, specifically on:

• formatting of comments
• amount of commenting
• consistency of indentation type
• line length violations
• length of identifiers
• use of whitespace around operators

Installation

pip install designpy

Usage

designpy <filename>

Example

# designpy getaltheorie.py

:) blank lines before all comments
:( consistent indentation
  -?inconsistent indentation at: for priems2 in range(len(list_priem)):
:( all lines contain max 80 characters
:S possibly too short names: ['p']
:) exclusively using tabs or spaces for indentation
:( missing whitespace around operator
  -p=3

As you can see, designpy provides positive as well as negative feedback, sometimes with examples. In a couple of cases, the tool can provide "unsure" feedback about suspicious style.
