flake8-pyi 16.12.2

A plugin for flake8 to enable linting .pyi files.

A plugin for Flake8 that provides specializations for type hinting stub files, especially interesting for linting typeshed.

Functionality

1. Adds the .pyi extension to the default value of the --filename command-line argument to Flake8. This means stubs are linted by default with this plugin enabled, without needing to explicitly list every file.

2. Modifies PyFlakes runs for .pyi files to defer checking type annotation expressions after the entire file has been read. This enables support for first-class forward references that stub files use.

The latter should ideally be merged into flake8 as the integration is currently pretty brittle (might break with future versions of pyflakes, flake8, or due to interactions with other overly clever plugins).

List of warnings

Currently this plugin doesn’t add any warnings of its own. It does reserve codes starting with Y0.
