python metrics program/script sample

[Philippe C. Martin]

Hi,

I am looking for an eric3/linux compatible alternative to checking code
metrics (ex: true lines of code count)
Regards,
Philippe

I don't know what "eric3/linux compatible" might be, I'm not sure
what this would be an alternative _to_, and I don't know what you
mean by "true" lines of code count, but the only thing I've
noticed lately that counts lines of Python code, and I'm fairly
sure it would run fine on Linux, is pycount. Google for it...

You can also use pylint (logilab.org) which print something like :
Report

As it is pure python it should not be difficult to adapt to your needs.
(but do not feed pylint with a module with tabs, the final 'Global
evaluation' will be deceitfull)
