[feature request] Enabling CI build (AppVeyor) and static analyzers (QC+Landscape)

[vasily-v-ryabov]

This is my first relatively successful attempt to enable AppVeyor build (1.1.3build3) on 8 Pythons. AppVeyor uses Windows Server 2012 R2 (x64).

The results are not bad for Py2.7, but require some attention.

Ran 96 tests in 59.926s (10 modules skipped)
Unavailable resources: CRASHES, devel, events, memleaks, pythoncom, time, typelibs, ui

FAILED (failures=4)

Python 3.x tests completely fail (looks like not so hard to fix).

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 143, in <module>
    dist = setup(**setup_params)
  File "C:\Python34\lib\distutils\core.py", line 148, in setup

Static code analyzers might also be useful for the project.

• Landscape.io health check (done on Py3)
• Quantified Code issues

Sorry for taking so long to get back about this. My time to work on this project is very limited, but I don't want to stand in the way of good contributions or suggestions. If you would like push rights to this repo so it is easier to add patches, please let me know.

[vasily-v-ryabov]

Currently I'm too busy with my students, but I hope to make some contributions this summer. I will check later if push rights are necessary for AppVeyor integration and will let you know.

@vasily-v-ryabov @cfarrow

http://landscape.io/ and https://www.quantifiedcode.com/ are not working currently.

What about this issue?

[vasily-v-ryabov]

Landscape and Quantified Code are dead. There is Codacy which requires to authorize organization first. Another service LGTM is shutting down in December, 2022 so it doesn't make sense to enable it old way, but they became a part of GitHub: https://github.blog/2022-08-15-the-next-step-for-lgtm-com-github-code-scanning/

[vasily-v-ryabov]

PR https://github.com/pywinauto/pywinauto/pull/1255 enables CodeQL instead of LGTM. comtypes needs something similar.
