PyChecker

Support for Python 2.7 was added. In the new pcmodules.py module, the modulePath code no longer causes an import error. pychecker now allows lambda with setattr and const. pychecker -q on 64-bit no longer ignores the platform-specific stdlib. The order of checking files no longer affects the errors reported. PyChecker was only checking one of each set of modules with the same name, so it will now catch many warnings it was missing before.

This release added new options to limit the number of warnings shown, only show warnings from files on the command line, display warnings by class (warning type), disable C extensions that crash, and add support for ROT_ opcodes. Spurious warnings from bit operations, int(x/y), wrong filenames, and setup/install problems were fixed.

Many bugfixes were made and support for Python 2.4 and above was added.

Many spurious warnings were fixed. Python 2.2+ features are supported better. One warning was added.

This release fixes several bugs, including suppressing warnings about self not being the first argument of static and class methods. It adds new warnings for shadowing builtins, performing idempotent operations like assigning a variable to itself, passing a constant string to getattr/ setattr, check for correct __special__ method signatures, and other checks.
