pylyzer uses the type checker of the Erg programming language internally. This language is a transpiled language that targets Python, and has a static type system.

On average, pylyzer can inspect Python scripts more than 100 times faster than pytype and pyright 1. This is largely due to the fact that pylyzer is implemented in Rust.
While pytype/pyright's error reports are illegible, pylyzer shows where the error occurred and provides clear error messages.

Since pylyzer's type checking is conservative, you may encounter many (possibly false positive) errors. We are working on fixing this, but if you are concerned about editor errors, please turn off the diagnostics feature.
