    If you're looking for just good automated error checking, I personally use a bunch of flake8 plugins via pre-commit hooks: flake8-bugbear, flake8-builtins, flake8-bandit, etc. You can find a bunch of sites that give recommended plugins and you just need to pick which ones you care about :)

    flake8 is Python style checker based on PEP8(Python Enhance Proposal 8). black is a good code formatter. But some items such as Documentation String, black is not provided the check option. flake8 not only helps for lack of black but also can be easily applied with black.

What are some alternatives?
