Installation ============ .. code-block:: bash pip install flake8-polyfill Usage ===== Option Handling --------------- One problem area with compatibility with Flake8 2.x and 3.x is the registering options and receiving the parsed values. Flake8 3.0 added extra parameters to the ``add_option`` method which don't have the same effect on Flake8 2.x. To accomodate the change, this polyfill module allows you to do: .. code-block:: python from flake8_polyfill import options class MyFlake8Plugin(object): @classmethod def add_options(cls, parser): options.register(parser, '--my-long-option-name', parse_from_config=True, comma_separated_list=True, default='...', help='...') options.register(parser, '-m', '--my-other-long-option-name', parse_from_config=True, normalize_paths=True, default='...', help='...') @classmethod def parse_options(cls, values): cls.my_long_option_name = values.my_long_option_name cls.my_other_long_option_name = values.my_other_long_option_name And have the code work the same way on both versions. Retrieving Standard In ---------------------- Until Flake8 2.6, getting the code on standard in from a plugin has been simple: .. code-block:: python import pep8 stdin = pep8.get_stdin_value() In 2.6 you now have to know whether to use ``pep8`` or ``pycodestyle`` since Flake8 2.6 made a hard change to ``pycodestyle``. The reason you need to know which module to use is because standard in can be exhausted and Flake8 does some work to cache the value so that call always returns the desired data. In 3.0, Flake8 no longer monkey-patches those modules. To accommodate this, this package provides: .. code-block:: python from flake8_polyfill import stdin stdin.monkey_patch('all') stdin.monkey_patch('pep8') stdin.monkey_patch('pycodestyle') This allows you to have the polyfill module monkey-patch what you want so it is always monkey-patched. It will also do so in an intelligent way. Version Comparison ------------------ Flake8 2.x did not include an object that would allow for easy version comparison. Flake8 3.0, however, added a ``__version_info__`` attribute. For consistency, Flake8 Polyfill will turn 2.x's version string into a tuple suitable for comparison. .. code-block:: python from flake8_polyfill import version if (2, 4) <= version.version_info < (2, 6): # ... elif (2, 6) <= version.version_info < (3, 0): # ... elif (3, 0) <= version.version_info < (4, 0): # ...
