pycheck v0.6.1

Pycheck

An opinionated code quality checker for Python. Pycheck runs some code checking tools, shows the problems and generates a note for the code. Checks:

• Formating with Black
• Codestyle with Flake8
• Typing with Pyright

Install

Requirements: to have the base tools installed: Black, Flake8 and Pyright:

# install the python packages
pip install black flake8 pyright

Install Pycheck:

yarn global add pycheck
# or 
npm install -g pycheck

This way you can run pycheck in any project directory

Run

To run Pycheck vs any python directory:

pycheck /my/python/dir

With no parameters it will run in the current directory, looking for python code

Available options:

• -s: display suggestions about how to resolve the problems
• -v: will display more info (the list of files to format)
• --debug: print the commands
• --disable-typing: an option to not run the Pyright checks, just Flake and Black

Presets

Some presets options are available for the level of checks:

• --untyped: to run with permissive type checking
• --django: to run for a Django project

Example with options:

pycheck -s --untyped

It is possible to declare a preset in the setup.cfg file in your project instead of using a command line flag:

[pycheck]
preset = django

Ignore options

Pyright

To ignore files in Pyright declare the list in a pyrightconfig.json file at the root of your project:

{
  "exclude": [
    "build",
    "dist"
  ]
}

Flake

To ignore files in Flake8 declare a section in your setup.cfg file:

[flake8]
max-line-length = 88
exclude = .git,.venv,build,__pycache__,*/migrations/*

Black

By default the exclude list for Black will use the one of Flake if declared. To disable this behavior, in setup.cfg:

[pycheck]
black-ignore = disabled

To provide a custom regex ignore string to Black:

[pycheck]
black-ignore = '\\.git|\\.venv|build|__pycache__|\\*/migrations/\\*'

Example output:

Using preset untyped
Checking formatting with Black ...
Checking codestyle with Flake8 ...
Checking typing with Pyright ...
