python-machine-lrn/flake8: flake8 is a python tool that glues together pycodestyle, pyflakes, mccabe, and third-party plugins to check the style and quality of some python code. · GitHub

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. Multiple codes can be given, separated by comma. The noqa token is case insensitive, the colon before the list of codes is required otherwise the part after noqa is ignored

• Git and Mercurial hooks

• extendable through flake8.extension and flake8.formatting entry points

See our quickstart documentation for how to install and get started with Flake8.
