code checking using pep8 and pyflakes

Project description

Flake8 is a wrapper around these tools:

  • PyFlakes

  • pep8

  • Ned’s MacCabe script

Flake8 runs all tools by launching the single ‘flake8’ script, but ignores pep8 and PyFlakes extended options and just uses defaults. It displays the warnings in a per-file, merged output.

It also adds a few features:

  • files that starts with this header are skipped:

    # flake8: noqa
  • lines that contains a “# NOQA” comment at the end will not issue a warning

  • a Mercurial hook

  • more things to come..

Original projects:

Mercurial hook

To use the Mercurial hook on any commit or qrefresh, change your .hg/rc file like this:

[hooks]
commit = python:flake8.hg_hook
qrefresh = python:flake8.hg_hook

[flake8]
strict = 0

If strict option is set to 1, any warning will block the commit. When strict is set to 0, warnings are just displayed in the standard output.
