P8 - The Python ultimate meta linter

Why?

To easily ensuring modern Python code quality in multiple projects.

A new Python developer on Windows may not know:

• How to set PATH
• How to invoke command installed via pip: e.g flake8
• How to install make and write Makefile
• How to setup git precommit

This program helps ensuring code quality without above hassle, it runs commands by default includes:

• black
• flake8
• mypy - it not only work when type annotation exists, it can detect type by itself for some cases, and detect error like print("%s %s", missing_one_arg).

Install

pip install p8

Usage

• p8 init creates a config file p8.ini
• p8 runs all commands defined in p8.ini, order matters.
• Installing those commands are users responsibility.
• On Windows, use py -m p8 init and py -m p8 instead.

TODO

• Test and fully support Windows
• Add option to install default suite flake8 black mypy
• Generate Makefile
