flake8-init-return

flake8 plugin which forbids not having a return type on a class' __init__ function

installation

pip install flake8-init-return

flake8 codes

Code	Description
FIR100	missing return value for initializer

rationale

As PEP-484 says, a class' __init__ functions ought to be annotated with -> None. This plugin makes sure that they are annotated, but it leaves up the type checking for another tool.

This might be useful when a type checker is not yet integrated into a project's development flow.
