Project description

Run multiple python linters easily.

Installation and Usage

Install with pip:

pip install multilint

Run with:

multilint

Python 3.5-3.7 supported.

How It Works

I like to keep my projects tidy with a standard set of linters. Running them all turned out to be easier with a wrapper script, which I ended up copy-pasting between them all. This project stops me needing to copy/paste, centralizing running all these neat tools.

In order, it will check if these linters are installed, and if so, run them:

  • Black, to autoformat code

  • Flake8 <https://pypi.org/project/flake8/>, to check code quality

  • Isort <https://pypi.org/project/isort/>, in ‘diff’ mode to show where imports aren’t sorted

  • Modernize <https://pypi.org/project/modernize/>, in ‘diff’ mode to show where python 2/3 compatibility with six is missing

  • python setup.py check, to check your setup.py is well configured. This will require docutils, and also Pygments if your long_description uses any code highlighting.

If any of them fail, multilint stops and dies with a non-zero exit code. Otherwise it succeeds!

You need to configure the paths that will be linted (by default, only setup.py is linted). Put a section in your setup.cfg like:

[tool:multilint]
paths = my_package
        tests
        setup.py

You can also pass the paths as arguments to multilint, which will override the settings, like:

multilint path/my_file.py path/folder1

Usage With tox

I normally run my tests with tox. An example tox.ini to use multilint to run your tests on Python 3.5-3.7 and do your linting on Python 3.7 would look like:

[tox]
envlist =
    py{35,36,37},
    py37-codestyle

[testenv]
deps = -rrequirements.txt
commands = pytest

[testenv:py37-codestyle]
commands = multilint

Then just put multilint, plus the linters you want it to run (e.g. flake8) in your requirements.txt.

History

Pending Release

3.0.0 (2019-05-13)

  • Drop Python 2 and 3.4 support, only Python 3.5+ is supported now.

  • Add support for running Black, the Python code auto-formatter.

  • Drop support for Flake8 < 3.0.0.

2.4.0 (2018-09-30)

  • Support positional arguments for paths.

2.3.0 (2018-04-28)

  • Fix for modernize 0.6.1+

  • Run modernize on the multilint codebase itself, so it now requires six

2.2.1 (2018-03-08)

  • Fix crash when setup.cfg doesn’t exist.

2.2.0 (2017-09-19)

  • Add --skip argument which can be used to skip particular linters even though they’re installed.

2.1.0 (2017-06-02)

  • Use entry_points in setup.py instead of scripts

  • Support python -m multilint

2.0.2 (2016-12-06)

  • Don’t invoke python setup.py check if there is no setup.py.

2.0.1 (2016-10-20)

  • Remove default for paths in setup.cfg.

  • Check that paths exist before running the linters.

2.0.0 (2016-09-24)

  • Use the config header tool:multilint in setup.cfg, rather than multilint, to avoid clashing with any potential setup.py commands. Your setup.cfg will need updating.

1.0.2 (2016-07-26)

  • Work with flake8 3.0+ which changed the way its main function worked.

1.0.1 (2016-07-16)

  • Fix modernize running on Python 2.

  • Run isort in the same Python process rather than with subprocess

  • Properly gate flake8 and isort so that they run only if they are installed.

1.0.0 (2016-06-19)

  • First release on PyPI.
