  • Embracing Modern Python for Web Development
    12 projects | dev.to | 8 Dec 2023
    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.
  • Improve your Django Code with pre-commit
    13 projects | dev.to | 5 Apr 2023
    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.

  • Formatting Code with Black
    12 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 8 Feb 2022
    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.
