Development tools

Code analysis

Twistedchecker

• https://github.com/twisted/twistedchecker

Best code analysis for twisted applications.

PyChecker

• http://pychecker.sourceforge.net/

There is no specific usage for twisted, best you can do is pass all python files from your application. For this purpose you can use alias prepared inside docker container: Wpychecker-directory which takes one argument - path to directory containing python files.

Pyflakes

• https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyflakes

Less capable than PyChecker, but does not execute python executables on the other hand, so its safer and faster.

PyDoctor

• https://github.com/twisted/pydoctor

Api analyzer a documentation generator

Profiling

Twisted built-in profiler

Generates profiles in hotshot format (not very informative). Use Wtwisted-profile-hotshot-format for twisted built-in profiler.

Theseus profiler

• https://github.com/flowroute/twisted-theseus

3rd party profiler developed for twisted. Generates profiles in callgrind format (very informative). Can be opened with kcachegrind. Requires tiny source code modification.
