For the time being this module is intended to be called as a script.
However it is possible to import it into an IDE and use the function
check() described below.
Warning: The API provided by this module is likely to change
in future releases; such changes may not be backward compatible.
- check (file_or_dir)
-
If file_or_dir is a directory and not a symbolic link, then
recursively descend the directory tree named by file_or_dir,
checking all .py files along the way. If file_or_dir
is an ordinary Python source file, it is checked for whitespace
related problems. The diagnostic messages are written to standard
output using the print statement.
- verbose
-
Flag indicating whether to print verbose messages.
This is set to true by the
-v option if called as a script.
- filename_only
-
Flag indicating whether to print only the filenames of files
containing whitespace related problems. This is set to true by the
-q option if called as a script.
- NannyNag
-
Raised by tokeneater() if detecting an ambiguous indent.
Captured and handled in check().
- tokeneater (type, token, start, end, line)
-
This function is used by check() as a callback parameter to
the function tokenize.tokenize().
