Python emacs syntax checking
Project description
Introduction
The pyempt package is a python emacs package for type checking and other syntax analysis. It is basically a simple wrapper around other python syntax checkers to simplify the process of calling pylint, pep8, etc. from something like emacs flymake.
In principle, you could do all of this with a a few simple scripts. It’s nice being able to pip install something that works and collaborate on improvements, however, and that is what pyempt is for.
Installation
To install pyempt, first do something like pip install pyempt or sudo pip install pyempt. Then add something like the following to your ~/.emacs file to run pyempt.
(when (load "flymake" t) (defun flymake-pyempt-init () (let* ((temp-file (flymake-init-create-temp-buffer-copy 'flymake-create-temp-inplace)) (local-file (file-relative-name temp-file (file-name-directory buffer-file-name)))) (list "pyempt" (list local-file)))) (add-to-list 'flymake-allowed-file-name-masks '("\\.py\\'" flymake-pyempt-init))) (add-to-list 'flymake-allowed-file-name-masks '("\\.py\\'" flymake-pyempt-init)) ;; Uncomment following line if you want flymake to start on file load ;;(add-hook 'find-file-hook 'flymake-find-file-hook)
After you restart emacs or reload your init file, flymake should automatically start and call pyempt.
Troubleshooting
If you have problems, the first thing to do is to try and run pyempt manually via something like
pyempt <FILE_TO_CHECK>
You can turn on logging via
pyempt <FILE_TO_CHECK> --log_level 0
You can get further help on the command line program via
pyempt --help
Forking
If you want to fork pyempt, you may find the following useful:
The README.md file is the main file. Generate the rst version via something like pandoc README.md -t rst > README.rst
Upload to pypi via something like rm -f dist/* && python3 setup.py sdist && twine upload dist/*
