Python Code Audit is a Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tool used to find security weaknesses in Python code. This tool is created for: * Python Users who want to assess the security risks in the Python code they use. * Python Developers: Anyone, from professionals to hobbyists, who wants to deliver secure Python code. * Security-Conscious Users: People seeking a simple, fast way to gain insight into potential security vulnerabilities within Python packages or files.
Python code plays a central role in modern computing, yet Python applications are not immune to cybersecurity threats. Static Application Security Testing (SAST) is a straightforward and proven way to identify vulnerabilities or assess the security posture of Python code before deployment.
After extensive research, I decided to create a better FOSS Python SAST scanner: A more reliable, trustworthy and user-friendly security tool.

Runs entirely in your browser(WASM). No data is ever sent to a server. No analytics, no telemetry. Never!
Static analysis has become crowded lately. What types of Python issues do you consistently catch that other analyzers tend to miss?
Love how the README spells out exactly who benefits from this, dev or hobbyist, instead of vague enterprise speak. Running it locally to scan a Flask project feels like exactly the kind of low-friction security check more Python folks should have in their toolbox.
Ran it against a few scripts I had lying around and the output was refreshingly clear without drowning me in false positives. Glad to have a lightweight SAST option that doesn't need a whole security team to interpret.
