A flake8 extension that helps to make more readable variables names

Project description

flake8-variables-names

Build Status Maintainability Test Coverage

An extension for flake8 that helps to make more readable variables names.

We believe, that variable name should unmistakably shows, what it contains. Thats why we try not to use varnames with only one symbol or not to use too common names, such as result, value or info.

This extensions helps to detect such names. By default it works in non-strict mode. You can change it with --use-varnames-strict-mode parameter end extend variable names blacklist even more.

Installation

pip install flake8-variables-names

Example

Sample file:

# test.py

a = 1
foo = 2
result = a + foo

Usage:

$ flake8 test.py
test.py:1:1: VNE001 single letter variable names are not allowed
test.py:2:1: VNE002 variable name should be clarified

Tested on Python 3.6 and flake8 3.5.0.
