Review the Python you changed, not the Python you inherited.
Avouch is a lightweight, Git-aware static analysis CLI for Python. It asks Git which files your next commit will touch, parses each changed .py file with the standard ast module, and reports structural problems against limits you configure in avouch.toml .
No daemon. No network. No path lists to maintain. Run it in the seconds before git push , fix what it flags, push.
pip install avouch cd your-repo avouch
