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.

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.

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).

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.

Is it considered rude to completely change the formatting of someone else's code when making a PR?
https://github.com/psf/black it’s a PEP8 compliant formatter for Python codebases. If you don’t like auto formatting files you can use https://github.com/PyCQA/flake8 it just lists out all of the style issues so you can fix them manually.

Ruff: one Python linter to rule them all
I have no stake in that, but my observation is that the actual discussion appears to have both supporters and detractors rather than overwhelming support. Either way, it has nothing to do with whether or not it is realistic to say that Ruff is the "one Python linter to rule them all".
