| Coverity has a static analysis tool (Prevent) which is similar to Klocwork. | |||
| They run their tool on the Python source code (SVN head) on a daily basis. | |||
| The results are available at: | |||
| 
 | |||
|      http://scan.coverity.com/ | |||
| 
 | |||
| About 20 people have access to the analysis reports.  Other | |||
| people can be added by request. | |||
| 
 | |||
| Prevent was first run on the Python 2.5 source code in March 2006. | |||
| There were originally about 100 defects reported.  Some of these | |||
| were false positives.  Over 70 issues were uncovered. | |||
| 
 | |||
| Each warning has a unique id and comments that can be made on it. | |||
| When checking in changes due to a warning, the unique id | |||
| as reported by the tool was added to the SVN commit message. | |||
| 
 | |||
| False positives were annotated so that the comments can | |||
| be reviewed and reversed if the analysis was incorrect. | |||
