Was looking for

flake8

toml

support. Oof: https://github.com/PyCQA/flake8/issues/234

PyCQA locked as too heated and limited conversation to collaborators on Apr 2, 2021

there's been an uptick in those that cannot follow directions (NOTE: if you ask about pyproject.toml your issue will be closed as a duplicate of #234) so I will reiterate here:

...

if you'd like to continue this discussion please reach out to me privately, you may find the email address in my git commits

there is a tomllib in the stdlib as of python 3.11.

I completely forgot about that addition - though it's a parser, not writer

Exhausting aside he blocks on really great points. Even if there were 10 maintainers paid to work on that project all day the exhausting thing in that case if you take him at his word on the thread is beating back the people who just refuse to understand his argument. If you follow links to similar issues, Guido himself does the same over in MyPy beating back to a major chorus of down thumbs. More power to this guy for weathering the lemming storm.

I do think time has re-shaped the ecosystem from 2018 for sure. Personally I just want

toml

support for configs (not necessarily have to be

pyproject.toml

) because of the typing and better tooling support. Most tools allow you to point their config to a toml file, which they parse as

pyproject.toml

schema. That's ideal 🙂
