rattle-lint 2.1.1

A framework for custom Python linters with auto-fixes and hierarchical configuration

Rattle

Rattle is a Python linting framework built on LibCST with support for autofixes, custom in-repo lint rules, and hierarchical configuration.

Rattle is a fork of Fixit.

Features

• Built-in lint rules for common Python issues
• Autofix support when a rule can safely rewrite code
• Local custom rules that can live inside your repository
• Hierarchical pyproject.toml configuration
• Pre-commit integration for CI and local workflows
• LSP support

Install

Install the CLI from PyPI:

pip install rattle-lint

Install editor/LSP support too:

pip install "rattle-lint[lsp]"

Basic Usage

Rattle runs with no enabled rules until a project enables them in pyproject.toml:

[tool.rattle]
enable = ["fixit"]

rattle lint

Apply available autofixes:

rattle fix

Explain rule metadata, examples, and settings:

rattle explain use-f-string
rattle explain --json use-f-string
