Flake8

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 and flake8.formatting entry points
