It is, but it can convert any arbitrary Python script into C code using libpython, it will even frontend gcc for you.

Because C is strongly typed, this tends to catch bugs, errors, and omissions in Python code.

Also, the output it gives on errors tends to be a bit more userfriendly than pylint and pep8, in my opinion.
