Are you talking about using PyChecker or nose or what? In other words,
do you want to check your script for errors, documentation issues,
compliance with PEPs or something else? Maybe you mean introspection?

If the latter, here are a few links on the subject:

If you want to do code coverage, PEPs stuff or checking for errors,
use PyChecker and PyLint or nose.
