For example, if you have a class NewClass(BaseClass), and BaseClass has a method findme(), but you call it as findMe(), mypy will tell you findMe does not exist in BaseClass. It can be annoying to get the options set right so you don't get too many undesired hits, but it's certainly doable. mypy can be slow, depending on your code. You could also simply run py_compile, which will try to compile the code. It will stop at the first error it finds. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Detect naming typos (AttributeError) in function names
Hello, I would like to know how to detect (e.g. via a linter) typos in function names imported from another module. Let's assume this given Python code snippet. import foo foo.baR() The package "foo" do contain a function named "bar()" (all lower case letters). The function "baR()" does not exist in "foo". This cause an AttributeError when run with a Python interpreter. The described error is not detected in my IDE (Emacs with eglot, pylsp and flake8) and not by flake8 on the shell. Because the involved tools do not look inside the "foo" package if "baR()" really exist. Can I fix this somehow? I am aware that this would get detected by a unit test. That is the way I do prefer in most cases. But sometimes not all code segments are covered by tests. I'm more interested in using a linter or something else for that.
