I would look into pylint, Python source code looking for bugs and signs of
poor quality.

Highly recommend writing unittest, each unit test sends a specific input to
a method and verifies that the method returns the expected value, or takes
the expected action. Unit tests prove that the code you are testing does in
fact do what you expect it to do.
