Linters, type checkers, style formatters, package linters, security analysis, dead code removers, docstring formatters, code complexity analyzers: There is a wealth of static code analysis tools in the Python ecosystem. It's intimidating to start looking at them and easy to get lost. What's the difference between Pyflakes, flake8, and autoflake? Or between autopep8 and pep8-naming? This overview explains the different kinds of static code analysis tools, what tools are out there (as of 2023), and how beginners can get started using these tools to write code like pros. This talk also provides a beginner's introduction to type hints in Python and the type checker tools available. There are too many tools to describe in detail, but this talk does introduce the promising newcomer Ruff, an extremely fast Python linter written in Rust.
