wemake-python-styleguide

Welcome to the strictest and most opinionated python linter ever.

wemake-python-styleguide is actually a flake8 plugin with some other plugins as dependencies.

Quickstart

pip install wemake-python-styleguide

You will also need to create a setup.cfg file with the configuration.

We highly recommend to also use:

flakehell for easy integration into a legacy codebase
nitpick for sharing and validating configuration across multiple projects

Running

flake8 your_module.py

This app is still just good old flake8 And it won't change your existing workflow.

See "Usage" section in the docs for examples and integrations.

We also support Github Actions as first class-citizens Try it out!

What we are about

The ultimate goal of this project is to make all people write exactly the same python code.

Great advice!

I would also love to share my personal favourite tool for Python code reviews. It is called wemake-python-styleguide. It is the strictest python linter out there. And it makes core reviews absolutely amazing!

First of all, it makes people to write consistent code. And by "consistent" I mean consistent! It tries to make code from different developers the same. Not just spaces and quotes, but hundreds of things.

Secondly, it allows to find common mistakes and enforces to follow the known best practices.

And last but not least, it takes care of proper naming. There are a lot of thing in this topic: meaningless names, too short or too long names, etc and etc.

There are also handy option to send inline PR reviews like so:

I totally recommend to check it out.
