gcc-python-plugin is a plugin for GCC 4.6 onwards which embeds the
CPython interpreter within GCC, allowing you to write new compiler
warnings for C/C++ in Python, generate code visualizations, etc. It
comes with "cpychecker": a tool for static analysis tool of CPython
extensions.
Tarball releases are available at:
https://fedorahosted.org/releases/g/c/gcc-python-plugin/
Prebuilt-documentation can be seen at:
http://readthedocs.org/docs/gcc-python-plugin/en/latest/index.html

What's new in v0.10:
* support for the to-be-released Python 3.3 (tested against latest
release candidate)
* better support for analysis of C++ code: the API provides support
for walking the namespace tree, and the cpychecker code now supports
methods, references, "this", destructors, etc
* lots of bug fixes: the cpychecker code has been hardened by running
it on all of the Python C extension code in Fedora 17, and in the
process many internal bugs have been found and fixed - along with
hundreds of bugs in the code being tested:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/StaticAnalysisOfPythonRefcounts
* similarly, Daniele Varrazzo used the checker extensively on psycopg,
the popular Python interface to PostgreSQL, and using it was able to
find and fix numerous subtle errors:
http://initd.org/psycopg/articles/2012/03/29/psycopg-245-released/
* an experimental new HTML visualization for error reports:

Thanks to Buck Golemon, Daniele Varrazzo, David Narvaez, Eevee, Jason
Mueller, Kevin Pyle, Matt Rice and Tom Tromey for their contributions to
this release.
Enjoy!
