| <longdescription lang="en">Pylint is a Python source code analyzer which looks for programming |
| errors, helps enforcing a coding standard and sniffs for some code |
| smells (as defined in Martin Fowler's Refactoring book). |
| Pylint can be seen as another PyChecker since nearly all tests you can |
| do with PyChecker can also be done with Pylint. However, Pylint offers |
| some more features, like checking length of lines of code, checking if |
| variable names are well-formed according to your coding standard, or |
| checking if declared interfaces are truly implemented, and much more. |
| Additionally, it is possible to write plugins to add your own checks.</longdescription> |
