+
+Coverity has a static analysis tool (Prevent) which is similar to Klocwork.
+They run their tool on the Python source code (SVN head) on a daily basis.
+The results are available at:
+
+ http://scan.coverity.com/
+
+About 20 people have access to the analysis reports. Other
+people can be added by request.
+
+Prevent was first run on the Python 2.5 source code in March 2006.
+There were originally about 100 defects reported. Some of these
+were false positives. Over 70 issues were uncovered.
+
+Each warning has a unique id and comments that can be made on it.
+When checking in changes due to a warning, the unique id
+as reported by the tool was added to the SVN commit message.
+
+False positives were annotated so that the comments can
+be reviewed and reversed if the analysis was incorrect.
+
+Contact python-dev@python.org for more information.
