I think I checked and no one was supporting it yet in the Python community. > I like the idea though. So would SARIF -- which was also brought up in the discussion with the editor maintainers -- be the expected return value of the function call as a JSON object? > On 08/01/2021 00:44:10, Ian Stapleton Cordasco graffatcolmin...@gmail.com > wrote: > _______________________________________________ code-quality mailing list -- > code-quality@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to > code-quality-le...@python.org > https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/code-quality.python.org/ Member > address: carl.crow...@gmail.com > So I think this is a good idea.
