Constraints Are Good: Python's Metadata Dilemma
I wouldn’t bet on this one. I know a lot of python package maintainers who would likely rather kill their project than to adapt to a standard they don’t like. For example see flake8’s stance on even supporting pyproject.toml files which have been the standard for years: https://github.com/PyCQA/flake8/issues/234#issuecomment-8128...
I know because I’m the one that added pyproject.toml support to mypy 3.5 years ago. Python package developers can rival Linux kernel maintainers for resistance to change.

To Review or Not to Review: The Debate on Mandatory Code Reviews
Automating code checks with static code analysis allows us to enforce code styling effectively. By integrating tools into our workflow, we can identify errors at an early stage, while coding instead of blocking us at the end. For instance, flake8 checks Python code for style and errors, eslint performs similar checks for JavaScript, and prettier automatically formats code to maintain consistency.

Enhance Your Project Quality with These Top Python Libraries
Flake8. This library is a wrapper around pycodestyle (PEP8), pyflakes, and Ned Batchelder’s McCabe script. It is a great toolkit for checking your code base against coding style (PEP8), programming errors (like SyntaxError, NameError, etc) and to check cyclomatic complexity.

Enhancing Python Code Quality: A Comprehensive Guide to Linting with Ruff
Flake8 combines the functionalities of the PyFlakes, pycodestyle, and McCabe libraries. It provides a streamlined approach to code linting by detecting coding errors, enforcing style conventions, and measuring code complexity.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing pylama and Flake8 you can also consider the following projects:
Pylint - It's not just a linter that annoys you!
prospector - Inspects Python source files and provides information about type and location of classes, methods etc
ruff - An extremely fast Python linter and code formatter, written in Rust.
