Frosted is an open source command-line software implemented in the Python programming language and designed to act as a passive source code syntax checker for Python. It’s forked from the Pyflakes program.

The software’s main goal is to be a better Python checker for anyone, while having a smaller and more maintainable code base. It is much better than the pyflakes program, simply because it introduces a wide range of improvements and fixes, as well as simplified and re-factored code.

At the moment, Frosted supports Python 2.6 to 3.4 using the pies library. Detailed information about how to install and use the Frosted program can be found on its official website (see link at the end of the article for details).

Getting started with Frosted

To use the program, you will have to first download it and install it. After installation, you can see the usage message and available command-line options by running the ‘frosted --help’ command in a terminal emulator.

Please note that the application supports syntax checking of a single file or a list of multiple Python source files. Additionally, you will be able to activate the recursive mode when looking up for Python files to check. The SKIP option will allow you to skip certain files.

Among other command-line options, we can mention the ability to run the program against doctests, to ignore certain error messages outputted by the software, to specify error codes that shouldn’t be ignored by Frosted, as well as to enable verbose mode.

Under the hood and supported Linux distributions

Looking under the hood of Frosted, we can notice that it has been written entirely in the Python programming language. The software has been successfully installed on a wide range of GNU/Linux distributions, with both Python 2 and Python 3. It runs well on computers supporting 64-bit or 32-bit hardware architectures.

What is new in this release:

  • This version fixes a potential compatibility issue with Python 2.6.4 and upgrades to the latest version of pies for improved compatibility.

Requirements:

  • Python
