# Flake8-pyproject
Flake8 plug-in loading the configuration from pyproject.toml

Flake8 cannot be configured via pyproject.toml, even though
virtually all other Python dev tools have adopted it as the central
location for project configuration. The discussion of the original
proposal (#234) was closed as "too heated", subsequent feature
and pull requests were marked as "spam" (#1332, #1421, #1431,
#1447, #1501).

Flake8-pyproject also has bad manners and force-feeds Flake8 the
spam it so despises. It registers itself as a Flake8 plug-in to
seamlessly load the configuration from pyproject.toml when you
run the flake8 command.

Usage

Say your Flake8 configuration in .flake8 (or in tox.ini, or
setup.cfg) is this:

[flake8]
ignore = E231, E241
per-file-ignores =
    __init__.py:F401
max-line-length = 88
count = true

Copy that [flake8] section to pyproject.toml, rename it as
[tool.flake8], and convert the key–value pairs to the TOML format:

[tool.flake8]
ignore = ['E231', 'E241']
per-file-ignores = [
    '__init__.py:F401',
]
max-line-length = 88
count = true

Then run flake8 in the project root folder, where pyproject.toml
is located.

In case your TOML-based configuration is contained in a different
folder, or the file has a different name, specify the location with
the --toml-config command-line option.

For compatibility with earlier versions of this package, and perhaps
extra reliability in terms of possible future breakage of the plug-in
hook, the package also provides a flake8p command that could be
called alternatively to lint the code.
