How to write a pep8 configuration (pep8.rc) file?
The preferred way is to use a setup.cfg in the top-level of the project (.cfg has the same syntax as a .ini file), which should contain a [pep8] section. For example:
[pep8]ignore = E226,E302,E41max-line-length = 160Note: the error codes are defined in the pep8 docs.
- autopep8 find this same
[pep8]section as pep8. - flake8 needs a
[flake8]section in setup.cfg. - yapf looks for a
[yapf]section in setup.cfg.
Sadly, the answer from Andy Hayden does not work for pytest / pytest-pep8 / flake8.
pytest-pep8
For that, you have to use either
# content of setup.cfg[pytest]pep8maxlinelength = 99or
[pytest]max-line-length=99Strangely, the following does not work
[tool:pytest]max-line-length=99pytest-flake8
Add
[flake8] max-line-length=99
They renamed pep8 to pycodestyle to avoid confusion.
You can create a setup.cfg file with:
[pycodestyle]ignore = E226,E302,E41max-line-length = 119exclude = tests/ docs/For the error codes, you can read this documentation.
