As now I'm coding with Python (and learning it), here comes a similar post as the one I did for Ruby but adapted. Basically I want to centralize my coding to use if possible just one IDE for every language and file, so while probably PyCharm is better (as usually JetBrains tools are awesome) I get more flexibility with Sublime Text. Here are the specific packages I use:
- Package Control: Plugin/package manager, required for the other components
- SublimeLinter 3: Generic text linter for the editor. Required for the specific linters
- PEP8 (Style guide for Python coding): pip install pep8
- SublimeLinter-PEP8: To have the PEP8 rules inside the editor
- MyPy (Static type checker): pip install mypy
- SublimeLinter-contrib-mypy: To have the MyPy rules inside the editor (might conflict with PEP8 ones)
Despite having a tox.ini pep8 configuration file, if you see Sublime ignoring you, you can force some configuration settings for any linter going to:
Preferences -> Package Settings -> SublimeLinter -> Settings – User
And then adding custom rules under the pep8 section, e.g.:
"pep8": {
"max-line-length": 120
}
For additional, more strict rules, I use:
- Flake8 (another source code checker): pip install flake8
- SublimeLinter-Flake8: Again, to integrate with Sublime
- Flake8Lint: I'm still comparing with previous one to see if I need both or just this one, but this is quite powerful and configurable, so definetly a must
And that's all for now, if I add more interesting packages I'll update the post, and of course comments and suggestions are welcome.
