thonny-flake 1.0.6

A plugin that adds flake8 warnings to the Thonny Python IDE.

thonny-flake

A Thonny plugin to add most of flake8's warnings (except for F401 because Thonny already warns when imported modules are unused).

Installing

To install from pip3 using a terminal (or Powershell for Windows users):

pip3 install thonny-flake
# Or
python3 -m pip install thonny-flake

To install directly from Thonny:

1. Click "Tools" and then click "Manage Plug-ins..."
2. Search for "thonny-flake" in the input box.
3. Click install.

Either way, after installing you will need to restart Thonny for the changes to take effect.

Debugging

"The assistant menu is blank/not showing"

The warnings may not show if the file you are running is '<untitled>', save the file and try again. If not, look at the option below.

"It doesn't show warnings!"

If it doesn't show any warnings on things that should be warnings, try these:

• Enable the assistant (Tools > Options > Assistant > enable all boxes you want, OK)
• Install flake8 (python3 -m pip install flake8)
• Restart Thonny
• Run your code again

If you still don't get warnings, then your code doesn't have any that flake8 detects.
