Flake8

Style Guide Enforcement in Python

Visit Website

Flake8 is a Python linter that enforces the PEP 8 style guide. It also checks for other supported coding standards. If you need any custom rules, you can extend Flake8 with plugins.

To install Flake8, you can use pip:

python -m pip install flake8

After installing Flake8, you can run it on your Python codebase by running the following command in your terminal:

flake8

Flake8 will output any style guide violations it finds in your code. It will also show you the line number and the specific rule that was violated.

You can configure Flake8 to ignore certain rules, or to ignore warnings, by creating a configuration file in your project directory.

The configuration file should be named .flake8 and can contain options like this:

[flake8]
ignore = E203, E266, E501
max-line-length = 80
max-complexity = 15

For more configuration options, see the Flake8 documentation.
