I tried reaching someone from Pyflakes in the IRC channel on freenode and was kindly redirected to this mailinglist, so please tell me if this is not the appropriate place for my questions. I discovered Pyflakes a few weeks ago and I'm using it in a project. But it seems that I'm not able to get rid of a few errors it reports. I'm by no means a Python professional, so this may be a mistake on my side. The following three error messages do not make sense for me:
dslrpicontrol/models.py:26: invalid syntax flash(u'Auto-detection request failed', 'danger') ^ dslrpicontrol/errorhandlers.py:15: invalid syntax return render_error(404, u'Page not found') ^ dslrpicontrol/__init__.py:28: 'dslrpicontrol' imported but unused
If you want to see the specific position, I hilighted the exact lines here:
https://github.com/daniel-j-h/dslr-pi-control/blob/master/dslrpicontrol/mode... https://github.com/daniel-j-h/dslr-pi-control/blob/master/dslrpicontrol/erro... https://github.com/daniel-j-h/dslr-pi-control/blob/master/dslrpicontrol/__in...
The first two 'invalid syntax' error reports do not make sense to me. Why is the syntax invalid? The Python interpreter does The Right Thing. More about the flash() function here:
http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/patterns/flashing/#flashing-with-categories http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/api/#message-flashing
The last 'imported but unused' error report probably comes from the circular imports? This idiom was actually recommended by the Flask docs. Is this also a false positive? I'm glad for any hints. Cheers, Daniel
