PEP 8 Naming Conventions

Check your code against PEP 8 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/>_ naming conventions.

This module provides a plugin for flake8, the Python code checker.

(It replaces the plugin flint-naming for the flint checker.)

Installation

You can install, upgrade, uninstall pep8-naming with these commands::

$ pip install pep8-naming $ pip install --upgrade pep8-naming $ pip uninstall pep8-naming

Plugin for Flake8

When both flake8 and pep8-naming are installed, the plugin is available in flake8::

$ flake8 --version 4.0.1 (mccabe: 0.6.1, naming: 0.13.0, pycodestyle: 2.8.0, pyflakes: 2.4.0) CPython 3.8.10 on Linux

By default the plugin is enabled.

Options

The following flake8 options are added:

--ignore-names Ignore errors for specific names or glob patterns.

                        Currently, this option can only be used for N802, N803, N804, N805, N806, N815, and N816 errors.

                        Default: ``setUp,tearDown,setUpClass,tearDownClass,setUpModule,tearDownModule,asyncSetUp,asyncTearDown,setUpTestData,failureException,longMessage,maxDiff``.

--classmethod-decorators List of method decorators pep8-naming plugin should consider class method.

                        Used to prevent false N804 errors.

                        Default: ``classmethod``.

--staticmethod-decorators List of method decorators pep8-naming plugin should consider static method.

                        Used to prevent false N805 errors.

                        Default: ``staticmethod``.
