Prospector is a Python static analysis tool that aggregates results from tools like Pylint, pycodestyle, and McCabe to report errors, potential problems, convention violations, and complexity. It aims to be useful out of the box with sensible default profiles that adapt to the libraries a project uses.

Use cases

• lint python code
• find errors and potential problems in python source files
• aggregate pylint and pycodestyle results in one tool
• check code complexity of a python project
• set up python linting out of the box
• enforce coding conventions in a python codebase

When to choose

• you want a single tool that combines multiple Python linters with sensible defaults
• you want linting that works immediately without extensive per-rule configuration
• you want analysis output that adapts to the libraries your project uses

When to avoid

• you need only one specific linter's exact behavior rather than aggregated results
• you need a formatter or auto-fixer rather than an analysis reporter
• you are linting non-Python code
