Is there a tool to help find bugs or perform static analysis in Python?

Question

Please let me know any open source c/c++ static code analysis tool, I need to use that tool for stataic analysis

Answer 1

Try PyChecker, it is a static analysis tool that finds bugs in Python source code and much more.

PyLint is another tool that checks if a module satisfies a coding standard, and also makes it possible to write plug-ins to add custom features. In addition to the bug checking that PyChecker performs, PyLint offers some additional features such as checking line length, whether variable names are well-formed according to your coding standard, whether declared interfaces are fully implemented, and more.

Answer 2

In addition to static checkers , for runtime debugging you can use the pdb tool.

It has all the standard breakpoint/watchpoint and step running features to analyse the python code in runtime at a granular level.
