No project description provided

rust-python-linter

A performance-focused, Pyflakes-inspired Python linter, written in Rust.

Features:

• Python 3.9 compatibility
• ESLint-inspired cache semantics
• TypeScript-inspired --watch semantics
• pyproject.toml support

Installation

Available as rust-python-linter on PyPI:

pip install rust-python-linter

Usage

To run the linter, try any of the following:

rust_python_linter path/to/code/to/check.py
# ...or...
rust_python_linter path/to/code/
# ...or...
rust_python_linter path/to/code/*.py

You can also run in --watch mode to automatically re-run the linter on-change with, e.g.:

rust_python_linter path/to/code/ --watch

Development

As the name suggests, rust-python-linter is implemented in Rust:

cargo fmt
cargo clippy
cargo run resources/test/src

Deployment

rust-python-linter is released for Python using maturin:

maturin publish --skip-existing --target x86_64-apple-darwin
maturin publish --skip-existing --target aarch64-apple-darwin

Benchmarking

First, clone CPython. It's a large and diverse Python codebase, which makes it a good target for benchmarking. Note that we clone v3.9, as RustPython doesn't yet support pattern matching, which was introduced in v3.10.

git clone --branch 3.9 https://github.com/python/cpython.git resources/test/cpython

Add this pyproject.toml to the directory:

Next, to benchmark the release build:

cargo build --release

hyperfine --warmup 5 \
  "./target/release/rust_python_linter ./resources/test/cpython/ --no-cache" \
  "./target/release/rust_python_linter ./resources/test/cpython/"

Benchmark 1: ./target/release/rust_python_linter ./resources/test/cpython/ --no-cache
  Time (mean ± σ):     353.6 ms ±   7.6 ms    [User: 2868.8 ms, System: 171.5 ms]
  Range (min … max):   344.4 ms … 367.3 ms    10 runs

Benchmark 2: ./target/release/rust_python_linter ./resources/test/cpython/
  Time (mean ± σ):      59.6 ms ±   2.5 ms    [User: 36.4 ms, System: 345.6 ms]
  Range (min … max):    55.9 ms …  67.0 ms    48 runs
