Pylt

Pylt is a Python library designed to help developers analyze and understand their code. It provides tools for linting, which is the process of statically analyzing code to flag programming errors, bugs, stylistic errors, and suspicious constructs. Pylt aims to improve code quality, maintainability, and readability by enforcing coding standards and identifying potential issues before runtime.

The library works by parsing Python source code into an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) and then applying a set of predefined rules or checks to this tree. These checks can cover a wide range of aspects, including syntax errors, unused variables, potential performance bottlenecks, and adherence to style guides such as PEP 8. Pylt can be configured to enable or disable specific checks, allowing users to tailor the analysis to their project's needs and preferences.

Pylt can be integrated into various development workflows. It can be run manually from the command line to check individual files or entire projects. It can also be integrated into continuous integration (CI) pipelines to automatically check code quality with every commit or build. Many code editors and IDEs also offer plugins for Pylt, providing real-time feedback on code quality as developers write it. This immediate feedback loop helps developers catch and correct errors early in the development cycle.
