drace 2.3.1

A pragmatic, resilient Python linter and formatter

Drace

Drace is a pragmatic Python linter and formatter focused on readability, maintainability, and practical code quality signals.

Highlights

• Lint + format + score workflows in one CLI
• Syntax-tolerant analysis so broken files still receive useful feedback
• Rule-driven autofix with multi-pass formatting
• Strict CI mode via --strict-fix
• Configurable defaults through drace config

Installation

pip install drace

Quick Start

drace lint src/
drace format src/
drace format src/ --diff
drace format src/ --strict-fix
drace score src/

Configuration

drace config list
drace config line_len 100
drace config ignored_rules + Z221

Philosophy

Drace emphasizes structure over cosmetic compliance. It flags maintainability pressure early so teams can keep code easy to understand and safe to change.

Limitations

• Python-focused tooling
• Deeper analysis may be slower than style-only linters
• Opinionated defaults may differ from strict PEP8-only setups
