Leo and Pylint: a new google group

For the last several days I have been studying pylint and 2to3 intensely. Indeed, 2to3 might be converted into a program, call it pep8.py, that would *fix* deviations from Python's style guidelines, not just warn about stylistic problems.

A new Google Group, called Leo and Pylint, is, in effect, an engineering notebook for my studies. Those who are interested in studying complex programs might be interested in this group. In contrast to the tedious reading of source code, this notebook shows how to make study an active, exciting process.

  1. Yeah, I have been thinking the same thing, and in fact planned to write one in an effort to learn more about AST's.

    Your use of google groups as notebooks is creative. :)
