CLASP 3.2 / PEP 2606 Static Analysis Tool — enforces naming and comment conventions beyond PEP 8.

Project description

CLASPLint

Python License PyPI

CLASP 3.2 / PEP 2606 static analysis tool. Enforces naming and comment conventions beyond PEP 8 — checks variables, dictionary keys, functions, classes, comments, and log messages for standards compliance.


Features

  • Variable namesgroup1_group2 format, all lowercase, no abbreviations, type/boolean prefixes, ≤30 chars
  • Dictionary keys — PascalCase, full spelling, acronyms kept uppercase
  • Function & class names — snake_case for functions, PascalCase for classes, private methods _init_X_function_
  • Comment format — every physical code line requires # Capitalized sentence. comment (import/class/def exempt)
  • Log messages — pre-defined string variables, proper try-except chains, exc_info=True on errors
  • Docstrings — presence check for all functions and classes; Sphinx :param/:type/:return format enforcement for methods with detailed description requirement
  • Encoding declaration — file header must contain # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
  • Single-line comments — each # comment is a self-contained sentence; multi-line comment blocks are forbidden
  • Symbol-line exemption — pure-symbol lines (only non-letter characters) are exempt from comment requirements and must not carry comments
  • Comment quality — detects weak comments that merely restate code rather than explain intent
  • Comment language — all comments must be written in English
  • Log quality — log message variable names must follow group1_group2 format; log message content must be in Chinese
  • Docstring quality — file-level docstrings must follow CLASP field-based format (MODULE, TYPE, DESCRIPTION...); class docstrings require ATTRIBUTES/PUBLIC METHODS/PRIVATE METHODS/USAGE/WARNING sections; docstring text is checked for capitalization, punctuation, and abbreviations
  • Review hints — advisory suggestions for overly long variable names (>15 chars or multi-word groups) excluded from total violation count

Installation

pip install CLASPLint

Or from source:

git clone https://github.com/thedayofthedoctor/clasplint.git
cd clasplint
pip install -e .

Quick Start

# Check a single file
CLASPLint path/to/file.py

# Check all Python files in a directory (recursive)
CLASPLint src/

# Show only summary, no per-violation output
CLASPLint --quiet src/

# Filter by violation category
CLASPLint --category variable src/

Usage

usage: CLASPLint [-h] [--version] [--no-recursive] [--quiet] [-c CATEGORY] [paths ...]

positional arguments:
  paths                 Python files or directories to check (default: current directory)

options:
  --version             show version number and exit
  --no-recursive        do not recursively check subdirectories
  --quiet, -q           suppress individual violation output; show only summary
  --category, -c {variable,dict_key,function,comment,log,docstring}
                        only report violations of a specific category

Example Output

$ CLASPLint tests/test_violations.py

When violations exist:

=== Code Logging Annotation Standard Proposal (CLASP) Report ===

+-------------------------+
|     Total Reports     |
+-------------------------+

From 2026-07-06 02:00:00 to 2026-07-06 02:00:00, CLASPLint totally found 13 violation(s) in
1 of 1 file(s), as follows:

    COMMENT  :    5   violation(s)
    DICT_KEY :    3   violation(s)
    FUNCTION :    2   violation(s)
    VARIABLE :    3   violation(s)

+-------------------------+
|    Full Violations    |
+-------------------------+

[Comment Violations]:
  [1] tests/test_violations.py:8:
     Line 8 lacks a required preceding comment.
       Violation Content:
         badvar = 42
  [2] tests/test_violations.py:11:
     Comment must start with '# ' (hash, space).
       Violation Content:
         #Bad_Var
  ...

When clean:

=== Code Logging Annotation Standard Proposal (CLASP) Report ===

+-------------------------+
|     Total Reports     |
+-------------------------+

From 2026-07-06 02:00:00 to 2026-07-06 02:00:00, 0 violation(s) in 11 file(s).

Python Version Support

CLASPLint supports Python 3.8 through 3.14. The minimum version is 3.8 due to ast.Constant, ast.NamedExpr, and ast.get_docstring() usage.
