It's been a while, but a new version of PyChecker is available.

        PyChecker is a tool for finding bugs in python source code.
        It finds problems that are typically caught by a compiler for less
        dynamic languages, like C and C++.

Comments, criticisms, new ideas, and other feedback is welcome.

This release adds some minor enhancements as well as a few bug fixes.

Changes from 0.8.3 to 0.8.4:
  * Allow warning suppressions to be specified as regular expressions
  * Add -z/--no-varargsused to ignore *args for functions w/variable args
  * Add warning checks when deleting variables
  * Add check for except Error1, Error2 : # should be except (Error1, Error2) :
  * Add check that pychecker/checker.py is same version as other files
  * Fix spurious warning when using parameter as dict for format string
  * Fix spurious warning when using lambda in __init__
  * Get setup.py to work on windows, etc. if don't have /tmp

I don't think I announced version 0.8.3 either.  
That was also a bug fix release:
  * Fix internal errors when doing % on non-strings and other format problems
  * Fix spurious warning when using a constant {} with a format mapping

PyChecker is available on Source Forge:
    Web page:           http://pychecker.sourceforge.net/
    Project page:       http://sourceforge.net/projects/pychecker/
