Syntax checker for python using inotify
Project description
quick (or not so quick) and dirty tool to run syntax checking on python code in a seperate screen window
features
Call a command on syntax failures
terminal bell
filter files by hashbang and globs
color output with tty detection
multiple output formats (oneline, short and long)
This program was mainly written to assit me in devlopeing python code and letting me know a couple of seconds before i try and run my program that there are basic syntax mistakes in the code.
to achive this inotify is used to wait for files to be written to and then if all pre conditions are fine (globs and hashbangs) then a syntax check is excuted. on an error a message is printed and it moves on to the next file
By using the ‘bell’ facility the window running icheck does not have to be visible to the programmer and isntead a message will be printed in the message line on error indicating attention may be required, allowing screen to be used as the windowing component of a fleixble IDE setup
