Pylint is the most popular Python source code analyzer which looks for programming errors, helps enforce a coding standard and sniffs for some code smells. It is possible to write plugins to add your own checks, for example coding patterns that you have observed inside your software and are generally a bad practice or rules which you would like to enforce inside of a particular project, e.g. class name and inheritance conventions.
This workshop will focus on understanding how a pylint plugin works, how to examine the AST tree of a piece of code and create a minimalistic plugin from scratch.
