prospector v0.7 Release Notes

    • #48 If a folder is detected to be a virtualenvironment, then prospector will not check the files inside.
    • #31 Prospector can now check single files if passed a module as the path argument.
    • #50 Prospector now uses an exit code of 1 to indicate that messages were found, to make it easier for bash scripts and so on to fail if any messages are found. A new flag, -0 or --zero-exit, turns off this behaviour so that a non-zero exit code indicates that prospector failed to run.
    • 📚 Profiles got an update to make them easier to understand and use. They are mostly the same as before, but the documentation and command line arguments have improved so that they can be reliably used.
    • 👕 If a directive inline in code disables a pylint message, equivalent messages from other tools will now also be disabled.
    • ➕ Added optional tools - additional tools which are not enabled by default but can be activated if the user chooses to.
    • ➕ Added pyroma, a tool for validating packaging metadata, as an optional tool.
    • 📄 #29 Added support for pep257, a docstring format checker
    • #45 Added vulture, a tool for finding dead code, as an optional tool.
    • 📚 #24 Added Sphinx documentation, which is now also available on ReadTheDocs
