Adding more warnings

[Thomas Dybdahl Ahle]

I tend to make a lot of mistakes of misspelled variable names.

Is it possible to make python warn me about those at "compile time"?

Very few times I use dynamic variable initialization. I can live with
getting a warning for those as well.

You would greatly benefit from using tools like 'pyflakes', 'pylint',
and a unit test suite for your code. They're very good for finding
such simple bugs in your code.

The names are resolved at run time, so the compiler has insufficient
information to say whether a name is used incorrectly.
