Utilities to compare Python-specific changes within Git repositories.
Warning
This project is a proof of concept... Features are not implemented yet!
Use case
This project was initiated to help Django developers to review pull-requests related to PEP-8.
When you review changes related to PEP-8, you have to make sure code is not broken, i.e. behaviour is the same. Since most changes related to PEP-8 are easy to apply, code review is long, compared to "do-it-myself".
The idea is to make code review easier, especially if changes are minor:
- highlight bytecode changes: where bytecode does not change, you can focus on readability changes.
- highlight changes in flake8 reports: make sure coding style was improved.
Of course, some changes related to PEP-8 alter bytecode, but some does not. As an example, whitespace changes should be easy to review.
