autoflake VS ipython

Ruff is not only much faster, but it is also very convenient to have an all-in-one solution that replaces multiple other widely used tools: Flake8 (linter), isort (imports sorting), Black (code formatter), autoflake, many Flake8 plugins and more. And it has drop-in parity with these tools, so it is really straightforward to migrate from them to Ruff.

Ruff can be used to replace Flake8 (plus dozens of plugins), isort, pydocstyle, yesqa, eradicate, pyupgrade, and autoflake, all while executing tens or hundreds of times faster than any individual tool.

Having unused imports in a Python file is a prevalent issue, with a very easy solution: autoflake. Running it over your files will remove any unused imports in place.

cleanimports: runs isort and removes unused imports with Autoflake. Be sure to set up profile=black in isort settings to avoid conflicts with Black.

We use isort[0] for this. It even has a "black" compatible profile that line spits along black's defaults. Additionally we use autoflake[1] to remove unused import statements in place.

If you’re already using ipython, this isn’t a problem because you’ll already need to download most of these dependencies anyway. But if you’re not using ipython… you’ll still need to download those dependencies.

!pip install is error-prone, it is better to use %pip install, ipython even warns about this, https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/12954/

The git history (here is the git blame) shows it has not been updated in 9 year. Looks like a documentation issue that you should open an issue against.

Do you know IPython? It is a modern Python console that extends the capabilities of the classic builtin Python shell by offering introspection, tab completion, syntaxing coloring, as well as history. If you don't know it, I can't recommend it enough. More information can be found in its GitHub page.

There is an IPython ticket on GitHub on the topic, but it's unclear if the problem has been solved.

For further documentation on ipython using the CLI, you can refer to the GitHub link or the documentation page.

There’s one I’ve come across recently here where you’re fighting against syntax highlighting with extra error context. https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/13446#issuecomment...

I see. https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/13529

You can automate setup for developers using this simple script:

And here’s a GitLab issue requesting support for blame-ignore:

https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/31423

I don’t think there’s a corresponding GitHub request, but maybe if GitLab adds this feature GitHub will have some incentive to follow suit.
