Hey Jeff! That may be an issue, I can not remember if the PEP specifies it or not off the top of my head, but let me give you some context (which you may already have): Flake8 wraps around 3 other tools: mccabe, pep8, and pyflakes. The behaviour you're seeing is coming from the pep8 tool. If PEP-008 (the document) specifies that this should be the case and using flake8 without any configuration does not warn you, then you should raise an issue on https://github.com/jcrocholl/pep8 Thanks for bringing this to our attention! -- Ian _______________________________________________ code-quality mailing list code-quality@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/code-quality
