The strictest and most opinionated python linter ever!
How to Use the wemake-python-styleguide for Python Linting?
We recently checked out the wemake-python-styleguide, known as the strictest and most opinionated Python linter available. It's actually a flake8 plugin, but it includes several additional features that really boost its effectiveness.
- Terminal (default): We output directly into the Action’s logs; this is the simplest setup, which is why it's our default method.
- GitHub PR Review (recommended): Using inline comments within code reviews.
Advantages of Strict Linting:
- Consistency: No matter who's coding, the output remains dependable.
- Bug Prevention: It catches common mistakes before they become issues.
- Efficient Code Reviews: If your code passes the linter, there's likely little left to nitpick, speeding up reviews.
- Fewer Revisions: The strict rules help ensure your code doesn't need frequent rewrites.
- Reduced Redundancy: The linter can suggest simplifications that might not be immediately obvious.
Philosophy and Goals: The overarching aim is for everyone to write Python code in a uniform style. The styleguide pushes for code simplicity and maintainability while enforcing best practices and protecting against common programming pitfalls.
