Linters

A linter is a tool to statically analyze your code and report for problems. For example, you have a function that receives 1 argument, but you accidentally passed 2. Such static analyser can report you about problems without running your code.

mypy

Mypy analyze your types for correct usage. It does not allow you to do something like "2" + 2 and prevents many bugs by your typing hints in classes and functions

You can run mypy analyzing with make check command. There are will be issues in output if problems exist.

As for me, mypy is enough. You can also view these as an alternative

  • pyre
  • pyright

Or check out linters with purpose of style reports

  • flake8
  • pylint

(I put here only what I have ever used and have had some experience)
