Project description

Build Status Coverage pre-commit.ci status

cython-lint

A tool and pre-commit hook to lint Cython files.

Installation

$ pip install cython-lint

Usage as a pre-commit hook

See pre-commit for instructions

Sample .pre-commit-config.yaml:

-   repo: https://github.com/MarcoGorelli/cython-lint
    rev: v0.8.1
    hooks:
    -   id: cython-lint

Command-line example

$ cython-lint my_file_1.pyx my_file_2.pyx
my_file_1.pyx:54:5: 'get_conversion_factor' imported but unused
my_file_2.pyx:1112:38: 'mod' defined but unused

Configuration

The following configuration options are available:

  • exclude lines by including a # no-cython-lint comment (analogous to # noqa in flake8);
  • use the command-line argument --max-line-length to control the maximum line length used by pycodestyle;
  • use the command-line argument --no-pycodestyle if you don't want the pycodestyle checks.

Which checks are implemented?

  • variable defined but unused
  • variable imported but unused
  • comma after base type definition (e.g. cdef ndarray, arr)
  • f-string without placeholders
  • dict key repeated
  • dict key variable repeated
  • if-statement with tuple condition (always true...)
  • assert statement with tuple condition (always true...)
  • dangerous default value
  • repeated element in set
  • .strip, .rstrip, or .lstrip used with repeated characters
  • comparison between constants
  • late-binding closures https://docs.python-guide.org/writing/gotchas/#late-binding-closures
  • pycodestyle nitpicks, which you can turn off with --no-pycodestyle

More to come! Requests welcome!
