​
Detection

The Python adapter is selected when Python 3 is available (python3 --version succeeds) and your project contains .py files (among supported adapters, the one with the most matching files wins).

​
Analysis

Python analysis walks source files and runs the shared analyzer suite: security, complexity, code smell, dead code, type hints, dependencies, and performance. Each issue includes a populated blast radius from import and call graphs.

​
Auto-fixes

Transforms are applied in-memory and then gated by the verification engine before write. Python-specific fixers include unused imports, dead code, type hints, f-string safety, trailing whitespace, import sorting, and others registered in the autofix engine.

​
Verification

  • Syntax — ast.parse via a Python subprocess.
  • Imports — Exercises that catch broken imports after a transform.
  • Tests — pytest for the file or project (see adapter and test-runner implementation for timeouts).

​
Requirements

  • Python 3.8+ on PATH as python3.
  • For tests: pytest in the environment when the test gate runs.
