Installing

Install with pip or your favorite PyPI package manageer.

pip install printlinter

Run the following command to test PrintLinter.

printlinter --version

Usage

Verbs

For help on using a verb.

printlinter <verb> --help

Lint

To lint a file or a folder.

printlinter lint <file|folder>

The product output look like this.

file_path:line:column error_code display_function_detected error_name

By default we disable the linter in some folders.

Error codes

All errors have an individual code based on PPLXXX. Each library have its own error "domain".

Library	Error domain
Standard	PPL0XX

Standard library

Function	Error code
print	PPL001
pprint	PPL002
sys.stdout.write	PPL003
sys.stderr.write	PPL004
sys.stdout.writelines	PPL005
sys.stderr.writelines	PPL006

Ignore errors

You can ignore errors with the linter.

Ignore error inline

To ignore a rule inline, add a comment at the end of the line. # noqa: <error_code>.

Examples

toto = 1
titi = 2
print (toto + titi) # noqa: PPL001

Ignore error on the next line

To ignore a rule on the next line, add a comment at the line before code to ignore. <printlinter disable-next (error_code)>.

Examples

toto = 1
titi = 2
# <printlinter disable-next PPL001>
print (toto + titi) # ignored error

Ignore a whole file

To ignore a rule, library rules or all rules, add a comment at the beging of the file. # <printlinter disable-file (error_code)>.

The comment must be before any code in a file.

Examples

Simple error

# <printlinter disable-file PPL002>
from pprint import pprint
toto = 1
titi = 2
pprint(titi + toto)  # ignored error
...

library errors

# <printlinter disable-file PPL000>
import sys
toto = 1
titi = 2
print(titi + toto)  # ignored error
sys.stdout.write(titi + toto)  # ignored error
...

All errors

# <printlinter disable-file ALL>
from sys import stdout, stderr
from pprint import pprint
toto = 1
titi = 2
print(titi + toto)  # ignored error
pprint(titi + toto)  # ignored error
stdout.write(titi + toto)  # ignored error
stderr.write(titi + toto)  # ignored error
stdout.writelines(titi + toto)  # ignored error
stderr.writelines(titi + toto)  # ignored error
...

Ignore a block of code

To ignore a block of code (disable the linter) on a rules or all rules (disable library rules come later), add a comment before the block you want ignore: <printlinter disable (error_code). To re enable the linter add an other comment after the block of code: <printlinter enable (error_code)>. You are don't have to re enable the linter after disabled it.

Examples

Simple error

from pprint import pprint
# <printlinter disable PPL001>
print("toto") # ignored error
pprint("titit")
# <printlinter enable PPL001>
...

You can nested ignored block.

from pprint import pprint

# <printlinter disable PPL002>

pprint("titi") # ignored error

# <printlinter disable PPL001>
print("toto") # ignored error
# <printlinter enable PPL001>

print("tutu") # NOT IGNORED ERROR
pprint("tata") # ignored error

# <printlinter enable PPL002>
...

without re enable the linter.

from pprint import pprint
# <printlinter disable PPL001>
print("toto") # ignored error
pprint("titit")
...
print('toto') # ignored error

All errors

from sys import stdout, stderr
from pprint import pprint
toto = 1
titi = 2
# <printlinter disable ALL>
print(titi + toto)  # ignored error
pprint(titi + toto)  # ignored error
stdout.write(titi + toto)  # ignored error
stderr.write(titi + toto)  # ignored error
stdout.writelines(titi + toto)  # ignored error
stderr.writelines(titi + toto)  # ignored error
# <printlinter enable ALL>
...

Configuration

You can configurate the linter with a configuration file (configuration by command line, will arrive in a future version).

PrintLinter supports 3 differents file type.

• .yaml/.yml
• .json
• .toml

By default the linter use one of thoses files load in this order.

• printlinter.yaml
• printlinter.yml
• printlinter.json
• printlinter.toml
• pyproject.toml

Alternatively, you can use another file and fill it in by running linter from the command line.

printlinter lint <file|folder> --config-file </path/of/config/file>

Target version

The config file allows to specify the python target version for the parser. Use a string like this 3.10 or 3.7 to specify the version.

The python target version MUST be contains between 3.7 and 3.12

You can see examples of this config here.

Ignored files

The config file allows to ignore files, unlike the comment that allows errors to be ignored in a whole file this configuration option prevents the linter from reading the file.

You can see examples of this config here.

Disabled rules

The config file allows to disable rules, in all files and folders.

You can see examples of this config here.

Color

The config file allows to enable or disable colorized output. By default the color option is on True.

You can see examples of this config here.

Examples of configuration files

Yaml/Yml configuration file

printlinter:
  target_version: "3.10"
  ignored_files: [toto.py]
  disabled_rules: [PPL001]
  color: true

Json configuration file

{
  "printlinter": {
    "target_version": "3.10",
    "ignored_files": ["toto.py"],
    "disabled_rules": ["PPL001"],
    "color": false
  }
}

Toml configuration file

[printlinter]
target_version = "3.10"
ignored_files = ["toto.py"]
disabled_rules = ["PPL001"]
color = true

Pyproject configuration file

[tool.printlinter]
target_version = "3.10"
ignored_files = ["toto.py"]
disabled_rules = ["PPL001"]
color = false

But then

Too see the next features to be developed see TODO. Here's a small, non-exhaustive list of what's comming in the future versions.

• Lint display functions from other libraries.
