“Clean code” is always about preference. I like code I can read and understand. If I want extra comments or keep some commented code to make a thought process about a coding decision more clear then that’s not a bad thing, IMHO.

And if print() is such a bad thing, why wasn’t it deprecated for Python 3? Again this probably just comes down to preference again. I just print a final result of a program to stdout (which can be binary data, or some SVG, or just some lines of information). That has nothing to do with “logging”, IMHO.

I don’t know who Uncle Bob is. 😳

That’s interesting.

After some digging I found a “ruff.toml” in an unusual place for a unix’y command line tool (~/Library/Application Support/ruff/ruff.toml)

select = ["ALL"]
ignore = []
fixable = []
unfixable = []

I don’t know what put it there, certainly not my doing as far as I can remember. But that explains some things, I guess. 😱

My projects are usually just standalone scripts, so no pyproject.toml.

I use a global “.pylintrc” in my home directory for pylint, which I occasionally copy over to project folders that get synced to public github repositories, but that’s it.

Personally I would prefer this to be just the .py file, not all the other fluff one needs to add: https://github.com/the-real-tokai/grablinks

I only experimented with it briefly (the old version and the new version I downloaded today). I don’t remember configuring anything, so I assume it runs like that by default:

$ ruff config
allowed-confusables
builtins
cache-dir
dummy-variable-rgx
exclude
extend
extend-exclude
extend-ignore
extend-select
external
fix
fix-only

flake8-import-conventions
flake8-pytest-style
flake8-unused-arguments
isort
mccabe
pep8-naming
pycodestyle
pydocstyle
pylint
pyupgrade
per-file-ignores

Certainly this will become more useful toned down to sane limits, but it needs time/ research/ reading lots of documentation(?) to sort that out. A more sane default would be nice, IMHO.

I have to admit… compared to some older ruff I had on disk it now reports like double of “errors”. 99% of them irrelevant to actual issues. It’s over reporting silly things so much it has become useless to use. It may or may not report something critical between all the noise, but it’s hard to see the tree because of the forest, so to speak.

I guess this is that new “black” stuff?

If I was to make my code compatible to what it wants I couldn’t use/read it anymore. :) Probably my programs would stop working too:

T201 `print` found

I guess I have to comment that out.

ERA001 Found commented-out code

Oups. I guess I just rm *.py to fix the madness. 😎
