code check for modifying sequence while iterating over it?

After just getting bitten by this error, I wonder if any pylint, pychecker
variant can detect this error?

I know pychecker can't (and I doubt pylint can, but I can't download the
latest version to check as logilab's website is temporarily down for
maintenance right now). It's a very thorny problem to detect a
reasonable subset of likely occurrences of this bug by static analysis
only, i.e., without running the code:-(
