Welcome to the forum! ad 1. I'm using syntastic + flake8 for python, but I think I'm alone. http://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=9874 and http://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=10256 ad 2. I'd like to see some review tool as well. Currently it's being done on the forum....

There are 2 different readers in use [1]: STEPControl_Reader [2][4] and STEPCAFControl_Reader [3][5]. The problem could be a feature/setting/bug of OpenCASCADE, but a more experienced person is required to answer that question. I can't find what SHUO mode and GDT mode in OpenCASCADE are doing - mayb...

Welcome to the forum!
"C:/Program" suggests that there is a space in the path that is not properly handled. Move the binary somewhere else if possible or give some more details what you have done - I'll try to find out if that's a probem with FreeCAd or with the converter.

Just a habit from the linux kernel. An example from the kernel that I'd like to see some day in FreeCAD: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=f6b7efc162caed555264cd73cd00103701fddbc0 From the commit message you can tell who was involved in writing/reviewing/test...

The patch is a bit messy - it contains white space changes together with real fixes.

Great!! Thank you for testing!

Now the icon should be usable from build dir (FreeCAD run without installation) and after install as well. It is not the most elegant solution ever, because of long path (/usr/local/data/Mod/Fem/Resources/icons), but there is no need for hardcoded icon anymore. Please test!

@DeepSOIC, bernd: Could you pull fem_v1 again (there is one new commit) and tell me if that fixes the icon/missing name problem?

Please ignore - more fixes required.
