Flake8 is a wrapper around these tools:
- PyFlakes
- pycodestyle
- Ned Batchelder's McCabe script
Flake8 runs all the tools by launching the single flake8
command.
It displays the warnings in a per-file, merged output.
It also adds a few features:
files that contain this line are skipped:
# flake8: noqa
lines that contain a
# noqa
comment at the end will not issue warnings.you can ignore specific errors on a line with
# noqa: <error>
, e.g.,# noqa: E234
Git and Mercurial hooks
extendable through
flake8.extension
andflake8.formatting
