Releasery

We managed to release something yesterday - Pyflakes, a tool similar to PyChecker but about a zillion times faster and provides fewer useless warnings. The author is Phil Frost, one of our developers and the lead maintainer of the Unununium OS project. Pyflakes was previously available through his home page, but we've started hosting it on divmod.org in the hopes that it can get some wider exposure and use and raise the average index of Python code quality throughout the universe.

that rocks, we just made this a standard tool. we just have one feature request:

from somereallystockstandardmodule import *

features in all our web code. we'd like to make that work properly. Looking at the pyflakes source, def FROM(self, node) sets importStarred = True, but doesn't know what module it's import*ing. any idea how to add an if statement in there to just call addBinding(Importatation(name, node)) for every name in a list?
