[ANN] pylint 0.24 / logilab-astng 0.22

[Sylvain Thénault]

Hi there!

I'm pleased to announce new releases of pylint and its underlying
library logilab-astng.  See
http://www.logilab.org/project/pylint/0.24.0 and
http://www.logilab.org/project/logilab-astng/0.22.0 for more info.

Those releases include mostly fixes and a few enhancements. Python 2.6
relative / absolute imports should now work fine and Python 3 support
has been enhanced. There are still two remaining failures in astng
test suite when using python 3, but we're unfortunatly missing
resources to fix them yet.

Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this release by submitting
patches or by participating to the latest bugs day.

What is pylint ?
----------------

Pylint is a python tool that checks if a module satisfy a coding
standard. Pylint can be seen as another pychecker since nearly all
tests you can do with pychecker can also be done with Pylint. But
Pylint offers some more features, like checking line-code's length,
checking if variable names are well-formed according to your coding
standard, or checking if declared interfaces are truly implemented,
and much more (see http://www.logilab.org/projects/pylint/ for the
complete check list). The big advantage with Pylint is that it is
highly configurable, customizable, and you can easily write a small
plugin to add a personal feature.

The usage it quite simple :

  $ pylint mypackage.mymodule


This command will output all the errors and warnings related to the
tested code (here : mypackage.mymodule), will dump a little summary at
the end, and will give a mark to the tested code.

Pylint is free software distributed under the GNU Public Licence.
