A flake8 plugin that rewrites error codes.

Usage

Install using pip:

$ pip install flake8-rewriter

With format

To activate the plugin, set the format option to "rewriter". Then pass in --replace=<code1>:<code2> for each code you want replaced. In this syntax, <code1> will be replaced with <code2>.

The following will turn all "line longer than length" errors to warnings.

$ flake8 --format=rewriter --replace=E501:W501

With force-rewriter

In some cases, you may want to use a custom format string, or are unable to modify the --format option (such as within an IDE). Thus, the --force-rewriter option was implemented to handle these cases. If --format specifies a format string, then the plugin will output using that string.

The following does the same as above, but also changes the output formatting.

$ flake8 --force-rewriter --format='%(row)d,%(col)d,%(code).1s,%(code)s:%(text)s' --replace=E501:W501
