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.
