Do the numbers add up?

.005 defects in 1,000 lines of code is one defect in every 200,000 lines of code.

However they also claim that "to date, the Coverity Scan service has analyzed nearly 400,000 lines of Python code and identified 996 new defects – 860 of which have been fixed by the Python community."

Hello, Coverity has published its "Coverity Scan Spotlight Python" a couple of hours ago. It features a summary of Python's ecosystem, an interview with me about Python core development and a defect report. The report is awesome. We have reached a defect density of .005 defects per 1,000 lines of code. In 2012 the average defect density of Open Source Software was 0.69. http://www.coverity.com/company/press-releases/read/coverity-finds-python-sets-new-level-of-quality-for-open-source-software http://wpcme.coverity.com/wp-content/uploads/2013-Coverity-Scan-Spotlight-Python.pdf The internet likes it, too. http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/coverity-finds-python-sets-new-level-of-quality-for-open-source-software-221629931.html http://www.securityweek.com/python-gets-high-marks-open-source-software-security-report

Thank you very much to Kristin Brennan and Dakshesh Vyas from Coverity as well as everybody who has helped to fix the remaining issues!
