pep257 configuration file

[kdeldycke]

pep8 has ~/.config/pep8.
PyLint has ~/.pylintrc.
Flake8 has ~/.config/flake8.
Even PyChecker had ~/.pycheckrc.

Why can't pep257 have a configuration file ?

[keleshev]

Sure! Pull requests are welcome 😉

[kdeldycke]

I'll wait for the merging of your rewrite branch.

In the mean time, do you have any preferences on the naming and default location ?

[keleshev]

~/.config/pep257 should be best. Do you know if pep8/pylint/flake8/pychecker use any local (per-project) config files? That could be interesting.

Ini-style config is probably the best choice, since it's supported by standard library. Take a look at this config example. It allows for configs like:

[pep257]
--explain
--ignore=D101,D202
--match='(?!test_).*\.py'

We honor setup.cfg if I remember correctly. Possibly also tox.ini but I think that was deprecated. I'm also not sure if we support ~/.config/flake8 any longer.

[#]: We == Flake8

[keleshev]

What do you use if not ~/.config/flake8. setup.cfg and tox.ini are also good ideas.

Before having a configuration file, I prefer to have PEP257Checker(options). options can be a simple key/value dict of Bunch like object.

btw. I am not using (or plan to use) pep256 directly from the command line. Rather I load a file in memory once and then send the content to many linters and checkers.

[treyhunner]

I would like to see setup.cfg support. I have particular files I would like to omit from checking and I don't want to type them at the command line ever time.

@kdeldycke are you working on this, or planning to?

[kdeldycke]

@Nurdok not at all. Feel free to take over this issue ! :)

Not yet, but I consider this the next big thing.

Great. Could youp lease add documentation for this please? Specifically to the front page of this repo (README.md)

[sigmavirus24]

This is a better opportunity to start using readthedocs.org and have real documentation for this project.
