Flake8: Your Tool For Style Guide Enforcement
===============================================
Quickstart
==========
.. _installation-guide:
Installation
------------
To install |Flake8|, open an interactive shell and run:
.. code::
python<version> -m pip install flake8
If you want |Flake8| to be installed for your default Python installation, you
can instead use:
.. code::
python -m pip install flake8
.. note::
It is **very** important to install |Flake8| on the *correct* version of
Python for your needs. If you want |Flake8| to properly parse new language
features in Python 3.5 (for example), you need it to be installed on 3.5
for |Flake8| to understand those features. In many ways, Flake8 is tied to
the version of Python on which it runs.
Using Flake8
------------
To start using |Flake8|, open an interactive shell and run:
.. code::
flake8 path/to/code/to/check.py
# or
flake8 path/to/code/
.. note::
If you have installed |Flake8| on a particular version of Python (or on
several versions), it may be best to instead run ``python<version> -m
flake8``.
If you only want to see the instances of a specific warning or error, you can
*select* that error like so:
.. code::
flake8 --select E123,W503 path/to/code/
Alternatively, if you want to add a specific warning or error to *ignore*:
.. code::
flake8 --extend-ignore E203,W234 path/to/code/
Please read our user guide for more information about how to use and configure
|Flake8|.
