Python Linter Comparison 2022: Pylint vs Pyflakes vs Flake8 vs autopep8 vs Bandit vs Prospector vs Pylama vs Pyroma vs Black vs Mypy vs Radon vs mccabe

• ruff

  95 26,504 10.0 Rust

  An extremely fast Python linter and code formatter, written in Rust.

  

How did this miss Ruff? It’s a clone of flake8 plus the usual extensions (bugbear, pep8naming, McCabe, pydocstyle), but runs significantly faster.

• flake8-async

  1 15 7.8 Python

  Highly opinionated linter for Trio code

  

And OK, I realise that this isn't everyone's experience, but when I find bugs at work I often try to extend the linter so they can't come back. https://github.com/Zac-HD/flake8-trio is probably the most dramatic case of that, but there are many others, and I'm willing to pay a bit of latency to make that dev cycle fast.

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• shed

  5 335 7.9 Python

  `shed` canonicalises Python code. Shed your legacy, stop bikeshedding, and move on. Black++

https://github.com/Zac-HD/shed expresses this philosophy, by wrapping most of the fixers I like (including pyupgrade, and a fair bit of extra custom logic too).
