3.21 tabnanny -- Detection of ambiguous indentation
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
-voption 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
-qoption 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().
