Flake9

Flake9 is a fork of Flake8 that supports reading configuration from a pyproject.toml file, because the authors of Flake8 won’t implement it.

In addition, because it’s 2020, Python 2.7 support has been dropped.

Here’s an example of the pyproject.toml file:

[tool.flake8]
ignore = "E203,E266,H106,H904"
max-line-length = 88
max-complexity = 25
hang-closing = true

Original Flake8 README

Flake8 is a wrapper around these tools:

  • PyFlakes

  • pycodestyle

  • Ned Batchelder’s McCabe script

Flake8 runs all the tools by launching the single flake8 command. It displays the warnings in a per-file, merged output.

It also adds a few features:

  • files that contain this line are skipped:

    # flake8: noqa
  • lines that contain a # noqa comment at the end will not issue warnings.

  • you can ignore specific errors on a line with # noqa: <error>, e.g., # noqa: E234. Multiple codes can be given, separated by comma. The noqa token is case insensitive, the colon before the list of codes is required otherwise the part after noqa is ignored

  • Git and Mercurial hooks

  • extendable through flake8.extension and flake8.formatting entry points
