Your unittests should have caught both of those errors. Also Django does use linting: https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/tox.ini#L36-L41

I did have unit tests, they didn't catch the bug though because the test used a synchronous callback (much easier to test) and real world code ran with async callback.
