								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.
