Embracing Modern Python for Web Development
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
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.

Quick wins in improving your Python codebase health
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.
-
Makefile for your Django project
cleanimports: runs isort and removes unused imports with Autoflake. Be sure to set up profile=black in isort settings to avoid conflicts with Black.
- Automatically find and remove unused import statements in your project.
-
Formatting Code 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.

W1203: logging-fstring-interpolation (Solved)
A little introduction about pylint. Pylint is a static code analyzer, it analyses your code without actually running it. Pylint looks for potential errors, gives suggestions on coding standards that your code is not adhering to, potential places where refactoring might help, and also warnings about smelly code.

Enhancing Python Code Quality: A Comprehensive Guide to Linting with Ruff
Pylint, on the other hand, focuses on code analysis and style checking. It offers extensive customization options and supports various coding standards. Pylint is known for its comprehensive reports and ability to detect a wide range of code issues.

Options for configuration of python libraries - Stack Overflow
In my opinion, the best way to expose configuration options is to read and parse them from the project's pyproject.toml file. Here's how Pylint handles it.
-
Pylint strict base configuration
I even contributed to Pylint by submitting a new rule a few years ago : implicit-str-concat.

Premier League Project Infrastructure Update
Implemented code formatting with Black and linting with Pylint in my CI pipeline. Here is my updated GitHub Actions Workflow file: ci.yml

Improve your Django Code with pre-commit
One last thing to do before running the hooks is to create a config file, just like we did with flake8. For this you are going to create a pylintrc file at the roor of your project and copy the contents of the pylintrc file from the pylint repo (here is the link to it).
- Even the Pylint codebase uses Ruff
What are some alternatives?
When comparing autoflake and Pylint you can also consider the following projects:
Flake8 - flake8 is a python tool that glues together pycodestyle, pyflakes, mccabe, and third-party plugins to check the style and quality of some python code.
black - The uncompromising Python code formatter
pylama - Code audit tool for python.
autopep8 - A tool that automatically formats Python code to conform to the PEP 8 style guide.
isort - A Python utility / library to sort imports.
prospector - Inspects Python source files and provides information about type and location of classes, methods etc
pyupgrade - A tool (and pre-commit hook) to automatically upgrade syntax for newer versions of the language.
mirrors-mypy - Mirror of mypy for pre-commit
ruff - An extremely fast Python linter and code formatter, written in Rust.
