Hi

:wave:

I'm Stephen. I'm going to lint (and fix) your Python code.

I wrote this linter because nothing else out there implemented these rules, and some of them needed CST (rather than AST), so there was no plugin framework (e.g. flake8 plugins) which I could use.

I hope it helps you.

Installation

slyp is a python package and can be run as a pre-commit hook.

On supported python versions, it should be installed with

pip install slyp

Usage

Either use it as a CLI tool:

slyp

Or as a pre-commit hook using the following pre-commit-config.yaml:

- repo: https://github.com/sirosen/slyp
  rev: 0.6.1
  hooks:
    - id: slyp

Options and Arguments

[files...]: If passed positional arguments, slyp will treat them as filenames to check. Otherwise, it will search the current directory for python files.

-v/--verbose: Enable more verbose output

--use-git-ls: Find files to check by doing a git ls-files call and filtering the results to files which appear to be python. This is mutually exclusive with any filename arguments.

--disable CODES: Pass a comma-delimited list of codes to turn off.

--enable CODES: Pass a comma-delimited list of codes to turn on.

Implemented Rules

E is for "error" (you should probably change this)

W is for "warning" (you might want to change this)

Some warnings are disabled by default; enable them with --enable.

E100

'unnecessary string concat'

x = "foo " "bar"

E101

'unnecessary string concat with plus'

x = "foo " + "bar"

W200

'two AST branches have identical contents'

if x is True:
    return y + 1
else:
    # some comment
    return y + 1

W201

disabled by default

'two AST branches have identical trivial contents'

if x is True:
    return
else:
    return

W202

disabled by default

'two non-adjacent AST branches have identical contents'

if x is True:
    return foo(bar())
elif y is True:
    return 0
elif z is True:
    return 1
else:
    return foo(bar())

W203

disabled by default

'two non-adjacent AST branches have identical trivial contents'

if x is True:
    return None
elif y is True:
    return 0
elif z is True:
    return 1
else:
    return None
