Options for linting Cython code

Question

I have a Cython module that I would like to lint PEP8 style, however pylint syntax errors on Cython cdef syntax. Does anyone have a suggestion about how to maintain Python coding standards for Cython code?

Answer 1

I use Sublime Text editor with SublimeLinter Flake8 package.

My Flake8 config is:

"flake8": {
            "@disable": false,
            "args": [
                "--doctests"
            ],
            "builtins": "",
            "excludes": [],
            "ignore": "",
            "ignore_match": {
                "pyx": [
                    "SyntaxError"
                ]
            },
            "jobs": "1",
            "max-complexity": 7,
            "max-line-length": null,
            "select": "",
            "show-code": false
        },

"ignore_match" key is used to define regular expressions that ignore some reported errors by a linter.

In this case I used it to ignore syntaxis errors in .pyx files. You can define new expressions to meet your needs.

Sorry because it's not a Cython linter, it's just a trick to make Python linter useful.
