#10 Pychecker index error on first run (Windows 7)

Stewart Paton — Thu, 07 Jul 2016 12:56:32 -0000

Problem resolved.
I found the following support request which refers to a need to use short format (8.3) path and filenames in pychecker.bat and not long format as is allowed in newer versions of Windows.

Pychecker index error on first run (Windows 7)

Stewart Paton — Thu, 07 Jul 2016 09:00:23 -0000

I've just installed pychecker on windows 7 Pro using "python setup.py install". When I run it on my script using the command:

c:\Python26\Scripts\pychecker.bat -#100 finaltest17.py

I get the following error/traceback:

If you could point me in the right direction that would be great.

Pychecker sometimes thinks a function returns None when it doesn't.

William Cross — Fri, 21 Feb 2014 21:59:35 -0000

Pychecker thinks I have a function that returns None, but it returns a list. I saw a similar problem with a dict, but this is the simplest version I could send.

I'm on a Macbook Air running Mavericks in terminal, with pychecker 0.8.19 and python 2.7

will@will-macbook-air:~/temp$ pychecker test.py
Processing module test (test.py)...

Warnings...

test.py:4: Local variable (i) not used
test.py:8: Using the return value from (chars) which is always None
will@will-macbook-air:~/temp$ more test.py

!/usr/bin/env python

def chars():
return ''.join(['a' for i in xrange(2)])

def main():
x = chars()
print x

if name == 'main':
main()
will@will-macbook-air:~/temp$ ./test.py

Entry at PyPi

Rene Liebscher — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 14:32:29 -0000

The entry at PyPi http://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyChecker is for an old version.
It contains no download url, so it won't install with setuptools and easy_install.

pyChecker Installation

lance tuscany — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 21:19:01 -0000

Hi, I'm having trouble getting pyChecker installed and working via Windows. (I want to be able to check python scripts for work.)

Is there some sort of documentation or explanation out there on how to get this up and running?

Thanks.
Lance T.

question

Okko Willeboordse — Fri, 15 Dec 2006 17:38:56 -0000

Hello,

I execfile some script from another script like below

i = 5
execfile(script)

script uses i

Running script standalone as well as running script through pychecker is not possible because script expects i

I still need to run script through pychecker.

I must do that from the calling script.

How?

Many thanks,

wx in BLACKLIST

Config.py should contain "wx" in the BLACKLIST in
addition to "wxPython"

I tried to checkout the source according to the
instructions, but password: anonymous failed (I even
cut and pasted it from the web page, no joy)

No global bug?

Josh Stanley — Wed, 27 Nov 2002 20:40:25 -0000

I have two files:

------------------------------------------------
runner.py:

#! /usr/bin/env python

import pychecker.checker
from my_module import mangle_hash

hash = {'A':range(5),
'B': range(10, 15),
'C':range(20, 25)}
mangle_hash(hash)
------------------------------------------------
my_module.py:

def mangle_hash (my_hash):
new_hash = {}
for key in my_hash.keys():
new_hash[squidy] = my_hash[key]
print new_hash
------------------------------------------------

When I run runner.py, I get this output:

my_module.py:4: No global (squidy) found
{'squidy': [10, 11, 12, 13, 14]}

Indicating that the previously undeclared variable
squidy is being converted to the string 'squidy', which
is then used as a key for new_hash.

When I run runner without importing pychecker.checker,
I get the expected error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./runner.py", line 9, in ?
mangle_hash(hash)
File "./my_module.py", line 4, in mangle_hash
new_hash[squidy] = my_hash[key]
NameError: global name 'squidy' is not defined

This makes me think that when pychecker finds the
non-existant variable squidy, it is making it into a
string.

Is this a bug? To me, this behavior is unexpected,
because it converts an mistake that normally causes an
exception into a pychecker warning. I didn't see
anyway to directly turn this behaviour off in pycheckrc.

Thank you,

Josh

Warning, option (unpackSize) doesn't exi

Anonymous — Thu, 20 Jun 2002 19:43:02 -0000

I keep getting this warning, even though the option is
defined in my ~/.pycheckrc file. What's going on?

How do you use this with paths?

Anonymous — Thu, 20 Jun 2002 18:23:11 -0000

The documentation says to run "pychecker myFile.py" to
check myFile.py. But pychecker is a directory, not an
executable file. Also, there are modules in the
pychecker2 directory that import from the pychecker2
package, which implies that the parent directory must
be in the Python system path.

Is it intended that both the pychecker and pychecker2
directories are to be put in site_packages?
