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
drace config reset all

Flexible separators are supported:

drace config line_len = 100
drace config color :: on

Documentation

  • docs/engine.md
  • docs/autofix.md
  • docs/config.md
  • docs/rules/README.md

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
