LowFile-scopePython Plug & play

Use aliased imports to avoid naming collisions

Alias imports when names overlap with locals or other modules; keep clear, unique identifiers.

Why this matters

Avoids accidental shadowing and improves readability.

Side-by-side examples engineers can pattern-match during review.

Avoid

import json
json = make_json()  # shadows module

Prefer

import json as jsonlib
payload = jsonlib.dumps(obj)

Bad

import time; time = 3

Good

import time as time_module

Critical
Avoid Empty Methods
Detect methods that have an empty body. If a method is empty, ensure that a comment is present explaining why it remains unimplemented.

Critical
Avoid equality operators in loop termination conditions
Check if loops use equality operators (== or !=) in termination conditions. These can lead to infinite loops if the condition is never met exactly. Instead, use relational operators like < or > for safer loop termination.

Critical
Avoid Equality Operators in Loop Termination Conditions
Ensure that relational operators (`<`, `>`) are used instead of equality operators (`==`, `!=`) in loop termination conditions.
