Adds copyright checks to flake8
Checks for copyright notices in all python files. It runs a simple regular expression search for strings like::
Copyright 2014 <author>
Copyright (C) 2014 <author>
<author>
can be anything unless you specify it with the copyright-author
option (see below).
Install with pip::
pip install flake8-copyright
Then, activate copyright checks in your flake8 configuration with::
copyright-check = True
# C errors are not selected by default, so add them to your selection
select = E,F,W,C
copyright-min-file-size
Minimum number of characters in a file before requiring a copyright notice. This is to avoid
forcing yourself to add copyright notices to very small or empty files. Default: 0
.
copyright-author Checks for a specific author in the copyright notice.
copyright-regexp
If you're not happy with the regexp that is ran to look for copyright notices, you can change it
with this option. Default: Copyright\s+(\(C\)\s+)?\d{4}([-,]\d{4})*\s+%(author)s
. %(author)s
is
replaced by the contents of copyright-author
.
