`flake8`#

flake8 ensures that most of your code follows PEP 8. However, automatic formatting, for example with Black, is even more convenient. In addition flake8 also checks for unused imports.

Installation#

$ spack env activate python-311
$ spack install py-flake8

Check#

$ flake8 PATH/TO/YOUR/CODE

Configuration#

flake8 can be configured for tox in the tox.ini file of a package, for example:

[tox]
envlist = py38, py311, flake8, docs

[testenv:flake8]
basepython = python
deps =
    flake8
    flake8-isort
commands =
    flake8 src tests setup.py conftest.py docs/conf.py
