Hi,
I think pylint is following PEP 8 Standard.
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/
PEP 8 has many style standard. I want to know which styles of PEP 8 are
supported by pylint and which are not supported? Do you have any matrix kind
of things?
Thanks,
Viren
User-level configuration generated probably something close to one fifth of
the legitimate bug reports we received (I'm not including the people
complaining about the behaviour of a check because those are probably
something like 60% of all issues).
Flake8 3.x and earlier merged configuration files because Flake8 1 and 2
were built on top of pycodestyle which has the same logic. Flattening
configuration in this way led to severe confusion and meant no two people
working on the same codebase would have the same output.
--show-config was more-or-less implemented in our verbose logging which did
it's best to help people understand the provenance of the various options.
In the end, project configuration is the most consistent way of providing
people a good experience with Flake8. It means that people will all see the
same results from the same version of the tool as the configuration is part
of the project. As you've already found, there's nothing preventing you
from specifically using whatever other configuration file you want.
I lived with the nightmare of managing and merging user configuration for
nearly a decade. I'm not going back to that sheer and utter misery. It's
not worth it to me. I'm not going to continue to justify it either

Hello,
I am using flake8 and I could not find a way to use a configuration file at user level.
What I read in the documentation is a way to have a project configuration file:
https://flake8.pycqa.org/en/latest/user/configuration.html
But I could not find anything about having a ~/.config/flake8 or something like that.
Is it something that could be implemented?
So far, I use a bash script when needed:
flake8 --config ~/.config/flake8 "$@"
But I would rather have flake8 implementing a hierarchical check for project file then user file, I would not need to manually pick if I run flake8 directly or my bash script.
Regards
