Installation

Supports Python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.3+

$ pip install py3kwarn

…or to install from the git repository:

$ pip install -e git+git://github.com/liamcurry/py3kwarn.git#egg=py3kwarn

Usage with vim

You can use py3kwarn with syntastic. If you want to use py3kwarn with another syntax checker (like flake8), then you will have to add this to your vim config:

let g:syntastic_python_checkers=['flake8', 'py3kwarn']

Modifying code automatically

Problems can be fixed via py3kwarn2to3:

$ py3kwarn2to3 --write example.py

Testing

Testing can be done with make test. py3kwarn also supports tox. This enables quickly testing changes in many versions of python. Take a look at the tox.ini file for more details.

TODO

• Friendlier messages.

• A flake8 extension.

• Flags to ignore certain errors

• Make it faster. Right now it is quite slow compared to other syntax checkers. Major refactoring may be necessary.
