  • flake8-cached - a wrapper around flake8 to cache file runs
    2 projects | /r/Python | 20 May 2021
    I use flake8 with [wemake-python-style-guide](https://wemake-python-stylegui.de/) plugin. It takes around 2mins to run the linter for some mid-range web apps. I have created https://github.com/jnoortheen/flake8-cached to speed up this process. I use it with Pycharm's filewatcher. It is a simple wrapper and intended to be used only during development with a fs watcher.
