  • Embracing Modern Python for Web Development

    Ruff is not only much faster, but it is also very convenient to have an all-in-one solution that replaces multiple other widely used tools: Flake8 (linter), isort (imports sorting), Black (code formatter), autoflake, many Flake8 plugins and more. And it has drop-in parity with these tools, so it is really straightforward to migrate from them to Ruff.

    Ruff can be used to replace Flake8 (plus dozens of plugins), isort, pydocstyle, yesqa, eradicate, pyupgrade, and autoflake, all while executing tens or hundreds of times faster than any individual tool.

    Having unused imports in a Python file is a prevalent issue, with a very easy solution: autoflake. Running it over your files will remove any unused imports in place.

    cleanimports: runs isort and removes unused imports with Autoflake. Be sure to set up profile=black in isort settings to avoid conflicts with Black.

    We use isort[0] for this. It even has a "black" compatible profile that line spits along black's defaults. Additionally we use autoflake[1] to remove unused import statements in place.
