This reminded me, I was wondering if pychecker could be included with the next python distribution. I think it would be very helpful to beginners in particular, but also make it easier for everyone.

I think we'd need to agree on a small subset of pychecker warnings that everyone could agree on. I find pychecker useful for finding bugs in Zope, but a great many of its warnings aren't helpful.
