Static analysis

This project uses a tool called Pylint to check the code quality of the Python source files. Pylint will use a plugin called pylint-django that adapts the bug/quality checker to Django-specific commands.

To run this Python quality checker on our web application, run the following command:

pylint --load-plugins pylint_django SA3/qa_web
