Go to window->preferences->pydev->pylint.

It works beautifully :)  Type something like this as the first two lines 
in an editor window:-

if a == 1:
     print('a == 1')

and it gives you a red bar on the right and a red circle with a white 
cross on the left.  Move the cursor over either and you get a small 
popup window "Undefined variable: a".
