The trailing comma issue you linked is different, but it's good to know that can be detected as well!
What I'd like to prevent is lists that look like ['A' 'B'] Which python interprets as ['AB'] In my experience ['A' 'B'] is a typo - ['A', 'B'] was intended. I discovered that the python AST module discards this kind of information - by the time the AST gets to flake8 it's impossible to tell there was ever implicit string concatenation, so there's nothing flake8 can do about this to my knowledge. If anybody is interested, here's a rough implementation as a standalone script that uses redbaron: https://github.com/razzius/redbaron-missing-comma-string-collection On Jul 24, 2017 4:07 AM, "Ian Stapleton Cordasco" < graffatcolmin...@gmail.com> wrote: On Sun, Jul 23, 2017 at 2:13 PM, Razzi Abuissa <ra...@abuissa.net> wrote: > Hi PyCQA, > > I've done a little searching but have not found a lint check for the > following: > > [ > 'a', > 'b' > 'c' > ] > > evaluates to ['a', 'bc'] due to implicit string concatenation, but usually > it's intended to be ['a', 'b', 'c'].
