Install & Compatibility

Where this runs

No compatibility data collected yet for this library.

Code

Verified usage

Install the plugin and run flake8 with the coding checks enabled (C101, C102, C103).

pip install flake8-coding flake8 --select=C101,C102,C103 your_file.py

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedPython 3 no longer requires coding magic comments (default is UTF-8). Many projects consider this check outdated.

fix

Consider if you still need this check; use `--ignore=C101` to suppress.

affects: 1.3.2

gotchaThe plugin only activates if you explicitly select the C1xx error codes. It is not enabled by default.

fix

Run flake8 with `--select=C1` or include in your flake8 config: `select = C1`.

affects: 1.3.2

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'flake8_coding'

Importing the plugin directly instead of as a flake8 plugin.

fix

Do not import flake8_coding in your code. It is auto-discovered by flake8 when installed.

flake8: error: unrecognized arguments: --select=C101

--select is a flake8 option, but using it before a file may cause confusion with older versions.

fix

Use `flake8 --select=C101 myfile.py` or add `select = C101` in .flake8 config.
