vim-flake8 ========== `vim-flake8` is a Vim plugin that runs the currently open file through Flake8, a static syntax and style checker for Python source code. It supersedes both [vim-pyflakes](https://github.com/nvie/vim-pyflakes) and [vim-pep8](https://github.com/nvie/vim-pep8). [Flake8](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/flake8/) is a wrapper around PyFlakes (static syntax checker), PEP8 (style checker) and Ned's MacCabe script (complexity checker). Installation ------------ Use [vim-pathogen](https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen) if you're not using it already. Make sure you've installed the [flake8](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/flake8/) package. Then, simply put the contents of this repository in your `~/.vim/bundle` directory. Usage ----- 1. Open a Python file 2. Press `` to run `flake8` on it It shows the errors inside a quickfix window, which will allow your to quickly jump to the error locations by simply pressing [Enter]. If any of `g:flake8_show_in_gutter` or `g:flake8_show_in_file` are set to `1`, call: call flake8#Flake8UnplaceMarkers() To remove all markers. No default mapping is provided. Customization ------------- If you don't want to use the `` key for flake8-checking, simply remap it to another key. It autodetects whether it has been remapped and won't register the `` key if so. For example, to remap it to `` instead, use: autocmd FileType python map :call Flake8() To add builtins, in your .vimrc: let g:flake8_builtins="_,apply" To ignore errors, in your .vimrc: let g:flake8_ignore="E501,W293" If you want to change the max line length for PEP8: let g:flake8_max_line_length=99 To set the maximum [McCabe complexity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclomatic_complexity) before a warning is issued: let g:flake8_max_complexity=10 To customize the location of your flake8 binary, set `g:flake8_cmd`: let g:flake8_cmd="/opt/strangebin/flake8000" To customize the location of quick fix window, set `g:flake8_quickfix_location`: let g:flake8_quickfix_location="topleft" To customize whether the quickfix window opens, set `g:flake8_show_quickfix`: let g:flake8_show_quickfix=0 " don't show let g:flake8_show_quickfix=1 " show (default) To customize whether the show signs in the gutter, set `g:flake8_show_in_gutter`: let g:flake8_show_in_gutter=0 " don't show (default) let g:flake8_show_in_gutter=1 " show To customize whether the show marks in the file, set `g:flake8_show_in_file`: let g:flake8_show_in_file=0 " don't show (default) let g:flake8_show_in_file=1 " show To customize the number of marks to show, set `g:flake8_max_markers`: let g:flake8_max_markers=500 " (default) To customize the gutter markers, set any of `flake8_error_marker`, `flake8_warning_marker`, `flake8_pyflake_marker`, `flake8_complexity_marker`, `flake8_naming_marker`. Setting one to the empty string disables it. Ex.: flake8_error_marker='EE' " set error marker to 'EE' flake8_warning_marker='WW' " set warning marker to 'WW' flake8_pyflake_marker='' " disable PyFlakes warnings flake8_complexity_marker='' " disable McCabe complexity warnings flake8_naming_marker='' " disable naming warnings To customize the colors used for markers, define the highligth groups, `Flake8_Error`, `Flake8_Warning`, `Flake8_PyFlake`, `Flake8_Complexity`, `Flake8_Naming`: " to use colors defined in the colorscheme highlight link Flake8_Error Error highlight link Flake8_Warning WarningMsg highlight link Flake8_Complexity WarningMsg highlight link Flake8_Naming WarningMsg highlight link Flake8_PyFlake WarningMsg Tips ---- A tip might be to run the Flake8 check every time you write a Python file, to enable this, add the following line to your `.vimrc` file (thanks [Godefroid](http://github.com/gotcha)!): autocmd BufWritePost *.py call Flake8() This plugin goes well together with the following plugin: - [PyUnit](http://github.com/nvie/vim-pyunit) (unit test helper under `` and ``) History ------- 1.5: Added markers and the option to don't show the quickfix window, also split functions into a autoload file. Added: - Options: - `g:flake8_show_quickfix` - `g:flake8_show_in_gutter` - `g:flake8_show_in_file` - `g:flake8_max_markers` - `flake8_error_marker` - `flake8_warning_marker` - `flake8_pyflake_marker` - `flake8_complexity_marker` - `flake8_naming_marker` - Functions: - `flake8#Flake8UnplaceMarkers()` - `flake8#Flake8()` - Highlighting: - `Flake8_Error` - `Flake8_Warning` - `Flake8_Complexity` - `Flake8_Naming` - `Flake8_PyFlake` 1.4: Suppress output to stdout. 1.3: Added the following options: - `g:flake8_builtins="_,apply"` - `g:flake8_max_complexity=10` 1.2: Added the following options: - `g:flake8_cmd="/opt/strangebin/flake8000"` - `g:flake8_max_line_length=120` - `g:flake8_ignore="E501,W293"` 1.1: Added `g:flake8_ignore` option. 1.0: Initial version.
