Usage
-----

If you are using flake8, you can install this package through pip.

.. code:: shell

pip install flake8-class-newline

This plugin is then automatically triggered when you run;

.. code:: shell

flake8

It produces only 1 error type; "CNL100: Class definition does not have a new line."

NOTE; Documentation blocks (or docblocks) should be on the newline, they are therefore ignored by this plugin. See https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#documentation-strings


Example
-----

PEP8 is unclear on whether we should allow for a newline after a class definition.

Basically;

.. code:: python

class AClassWithoutANewLine(object):
an_arg = 'a_value'

or

.. code:: python

class AClassWithANewLine(object):

an_arg = 'a_value'


The former seems to be widely accepted by auto-formatters. This plugin was made to enforce the latter.



Special Notice
-----

This package was inspired by flake8-quotes created by @zheller.
Thanks for the inspiration!
