Please try to use [http://www.logilab.org/857 pylint] to verify your patch for things like exceeding 80 columns etc., unused imports and unused variables. Pylint is not a tool you can rely on 100%, but it helps to follow some guidelines and to avoid the most stupid errors like typos. sugar-jhbuild contains a pylintrc you can use in the <code>scripts/data</code> directory: [http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/sugar-jhbuild/repos/mainline/blobs/master/scripts/data/pylintrc pylintrc] (follow "raw blob data").

[http://github.com/cburroughs/pep8.py pep8.py] catches more style errors than pylint, so make sure to run that one, too.
