One secret tip for first-time OSS contributors. Shh! 🤫 don't tell anyone else
Python has a bunch of tools like black, pylint, flake8.

5% of 666 Python repos had comma typo bugs (inc V8, TensorFlow and PyTorch)
Seems expected, as linters can't be sure when it's not intentional. Like this request to pylint:
The PR has been merged (for lists and tuples and sets only).

The Ruff python linter is insanely good
Just before discovering ruff, I was already migrating to PyCQA/prospector to simplify my configs...

Prospector vs running pylint/pycodestyle/mypy/etc individually?
I've been using linters like pylint and pycodestyle/pep8 for a while, but only recently came across the PyCQA project prospector. If I understand correctly, it basically wraps the other linting tools and gives them less-noisy defaults. It looks like it also has optional support for tools like mypy, bandit (security issues), and vulture (dead code detection).
Looking into it, I'm surprised as well. They're also both PyCQA projects, albeit with different maintainers. It's also kind of odd that prospector's pre-commit config runs both prospector and flake8 -- that seems redundant.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Pylint and prospector 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.
pylama - Code audit tool for python.
black - The uncompromising Python code formatter
autopep8 - A tool that automatically formats Python code to conform to the PEP 8 style guide.
isort - A Python utility / library to sort imports.
PythonBuddy - 1st Online Python Editor With Live Syntax Checking and Execution
autoflake - Removes unused imports and unused variables as reported by pyflakes
dotenv-linter - ⚡️Lightning-fast linter for .env files. Written in Rust 🦀
mypy - Optional static typing for Python
