NAME

6       pyflakes - simple Python 2 source checker
7

SYNOPSIS

9       pyflakes [file-or-directory ...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       pyflakes is a simple program which checks Python source files for
13       errors.  It is similar to PyChecker in scope, but differs in that it
14       does not execute the modules to check them. This is both safer and
15       faster, although it does not perform as many checks. Unlike PyLint,
16       Pyflakes checks only for logical errors in programs; it does not
17       perform any checks on style.
18
19       All commandline arguments are checked, which have to be either regular
20       files or directories. If a directory is given, every .py file within
21       will be checked.
22
23       When no commandline arguments are given, data will be read from
24       standard input.
25

OUTPUT

27       Found warnings including unused imports, undefined variables and
28       unnecessary reimports, are printed on standard output.  Found errors
29       including compile or encoding errors, are printed on standard error.
30

EXIT STATUS

32       The exit status is 0 when no warnings or errors are found. Otherwise
33       the exit status is 1.
