+Are there tools to help find bugs or perform static analysis?
-------------------------------------------------------------
Yes.
-PyChecker is a static analysis tool that finds bugs in Python source code and
-warns about code complexity and style. You can get PyChecker from
-http://pychecker.sourceforge.net/.
-
-`Pylint <https://www.pylint.org/>`_ is another tool that checks
-if a module satisfies a coding standard, and also makes it possible to write
-plug-ins to add a custom feature. In addition to the bug checking that
-PyChecker performs, Pylint offers some additional features such as checking line
-length, whether variable names are well-formed according to your coding
-standard, whether declared interfaces are fully implemented, and more.
-https://docs.pylint.org/ provides a full list of Pylint's features.
+`Pylint <https://www.pylint.org/>`_ and
+`Pyflakes <https://github.com/PyCQA/pyflakes>`_ do basic checking that will
+help you catch bugs sooner.
Static type checkers such as `Mypy <http://mypy-lang.org/>`_,
`Pyre <https://pyre-check.org/>`_, and
