Automated docstring and comments spell check
Pylint just released 1.4.0, which includes a spell-checker. Here is the initial pull-request.
Note that, to make the checker work, you need to install pyenchant python module and have an enchant library installed system-wide. On mac, it can be installed via brew:
$ brew install enchantBy default, the spelling pylint checker is turned off. You can enable it either in the pylint rc configuration file, or from the command-line:
$ cat test.py# I am the tyop$ pylint --disable all --enable spelling --spelling-dict en_US test.pyC: 1, 0: Wrong spelling of a word 'tyop' in a comment:# I am the tyop ^^^^Did you mean: 'typo' or 'top' or 'tip' or 'topi'? (wrong-spelling-in-comment)
