Thank you for both for good solutions. At the moment I’m fine with flake8 ending execution of my script.
I was a bit stumped by the fact that my sys.argv variable is used by flake8.main(). After reading your answer I realized that I can easily modify sys.argv to simulate a cli call. Since asking the question I found an alternative called prospector. Anyone have any thoughts about that project? To me (quite the novice) it looks like a promising alternative.
