Hi,

Are you planning to cover the code quality of the interpreter itself too? I've been recently reading through the cert.org secure coding practice recommendations and was wondering if there has is any ongoing effort to perform static analysis on the cpython codebase.

Hey Alfredo,

We do not currently have any tools to do that, but it would definitely be something interesting to discuss and maybe design on the list. I'm sure there are static analysis tools for the C part and I'm sure we as a community could come up with a "super tool" to check both the C and Python parts of CPython.
