Flake8-pyproject VS flake8

I must try this some time https://pypi.org/project/Flake8-pyproject/ since the flake8 author refuses to add pyproject.toml support themselves. Marking the ticket as "too heated" and pull requests as spam, like he has something against the pyproject.toml format or something.

If you're sufficiently annoyed to accept an extra dependency over this (like I was), there's this: https://pypi.org/project/Flake8-pyproject/

Regarding setup.cfg, it's currently used for flake8 related configuration. Flake8 doesn't support pyproject.toml: https://github.com/PyCQA/flake8/issues/234. There are some workarounds, such as https://github.com/john-hen/Flake8-pyproject, but, in my opinion, getting rid of additional config file doesn't really justify additional dependency. However, as setup.cfg is currently used only for flake8 related configs, perhaps it could be replaced by .flake8 file.

the original move was motivated by a few things: gitlab had an un-announced breach that led to a cryptominer's branch appearing in the main repository (no security log showed this branch being created or pushed to) -- I've kept a copy of it here: https://github.com/asottile/flake8/tree/afortunado21-master-patch-46684. their support gaslit us over this claiming it was impossible and not a security issue and that there were no audit logs about this happening. beyond that, I'd been generally frustrated with gitlab for years at this point and flake8 was the only place I was dealing with their "product choices" so I decided to switch it to github. the switch wasn't easy but it was generally smooth enough by keeping the old repo in place at least temporarily.
