Pylint doesn't yet support Py3k, so am looking for an alternative.

[note] An immature branch off some VCS would be sufficient enough for me to try out.

+2  A: 

There's always qpcheck, which at least checks for unused imports and unknown names, and works for both Python 2 and Python 3. But in general, pylint doesn't have much competition.

Good news, though: Porting Pylint to Python 3 is one of Google's Summer of Code projects, so there's reason to hope it'll be available soon. And I'm sure they'd be happy for extra help, if you wanted to volunteer.

It ain't happening and we are a bit short on resources at Logilab to work on the port. Patches are very welcome though. Mail me if you need more info on how to contribute to pylint.
