yina 0.1.1

A Python linter focused on naming conventions with 5 strictness levels

README

A simple, yet opinionated linter for Python that helps you choose more descriptive variable names.

Strictness levels

Yina lint operates on 5 strictness levels. Each level includes all the rules from the previous levels.

Level 1: Length and charset

• Variables must be at least 3 characters long.
• Variables can only contain characters: a-Z, A-Z, 0-9 and _.
• Variables cannot start with a number.

Level 2: Naming conventions

• Snake case will be enforced for regular variables and camel case for class names.
• All constants must be fully capitalized.
• Snake case variables that are not constants cannot have capital letters.

Level 3 (default): Word length, max length, repetition

• Max variable length: 32 characters.
• Applied for each "segment" in a variable name, like "one" in "one_two_three", or "One" in "OneTwoThree" (for class names):
  • No more than 2 underscores in a row.
  • No more than 2 of the same letter in a row.
  • At least 3 characters long.

Level 4: Pronounceability

• Applied for each "segment" in a variable name, like "one" in "one_two_three", or "One" in "OneTwoThree" (for class names):
  • At least one vowel
  • No more than 4 consonants in a row

Level 5: Non vagueness

• No vague words like "item(s)", "thing(s)", "object(s)", "element(s)", "data", "value" or "result". "string" or "dataframe" are also disallowed. Applies only to the entire variable name, vague segments are allowed.
• No numbers.

Configuration

• If there is a .yina.toml file in the working directory, it will be used.
• If not, the default yina-lint/config/yina.toml file will be applied.

You can use the command yina init to create a configuration file for your project with the default values you can modify.
