Package requirements checker, plugin for flake8

Project description

This module provides a plug-in for flake8, which checks/validates package import requirements. It reports missing and/or not used project direct dependencies.

This plug-in adds new flake8 warnings:

  • I900: Package is not listed as a requirement.

  • I901: Package is require but not used.

Important notice

In order to collect project’s dependencies, this checker evaluates Python code from the setup.py file stored in the project’s root directory. Code evaluation is done with the eval() function.

At this point it is very important to be aware of the consequences of the above approach. One might inject malicious code into the setup.py file, which will be executed by this checker. Hence, this checker shall NEVER be use to check code from an unknown source! However, in most cases, one validates code from a known source (e.g. own code) and one will run script stored in the setup.py file anyway. The worst case scenario is, that this checker will execute the equivalent of the python setup.py, which shall be idempotent (it’s a horribly designed setup.py file if it’s not).

If you have noticed some side effects during the flake8 check and your setup.py file is written in a standard way (e.g. pypa-sampleproject), please fill out a bug report.
