| Configuration |
| ============= |
| |
| The behaviour may be configured at two levels. |
| |
| Global |
| ------ |
| |
| The user settings are read from the ``~/.config/flake8`` file (or the ``~/.flake8`` file on Windows). |
| Example:: |
| |
| [flake8] |
| ignore = E226,E302,E41 |
| max-line-length = 160 |
| exclude = tests/* |
| max-complexity = 10 |
| |
| Per-Project |
| ----------- |
| |
| At the project level, the ``tox.ini``, ``setup.cfg``, ``.pep8`` or ``.flake8`` |
| files are read if present. Only the first file is considered. If this file |
| does not have a ``[flake8]`` section, no project specific configuration is |
| loaded. |
| |
| Default |
| ------- |
| |
| If the ``ignore`` option is not in the configuration and not in the arguments, |
| only the error codes ``E123/E133``, ``E226`` and ``E241/E242`` are ignored |
| (see the :ref:`warning and error codes <error-codes>`). |
| |
| Settings |
| -------- |
| |
| This is a (likely incomplete) list of settings that can be used in your config |
| file. In general, any settings that pep8 supports we also support and we add |
| the ability to set ``max-complexity`` as well. |
| |
| - ``exclude``: comma-separated filename and glob patterns |
| default: ``.svn,CVS,.bzr,.hg,.git,__pycache`` |
| |
| - ``filename``: comma-separated filename and glob patterns |
| default: ``*.py`` |
| |
| - ``select``: select errors and warnings to enable which are off by default |
| |
| - ``ignore``: skip errors or warnings |
| |
| - ``max-line-length``: set maximum allowed line length |
| default: 79 |
| |
| - ``format``: set the error format |
| |
| - ``max-complexity``: McCabe complexity threshold |
