Possibly of interest for Leo to replace pylint, etc -

Leo's full-test-leo.cmd file uses ruff. However, ruff almost never reports a problem.

I still use pylint occasionally. It reports problems that ruff doesn't.

Oops. I see you were talking about ruff's new formatter.

The formatter claims 99.9% compatibility with black. That's a problem because black insists on reformatting Leo's sentinel comments.

ruff boasts configuration options that black lasts. The ruff devs may be receptive to adding motr settings. Here's what I want:

-  A setting that would suppress the reformatting of Leo's sentinel comments.

   Imo the best would be a regex that would leave comments alone when it matches.

   Something like `^#@`.

- Settings that would specify a range of line-lengths to leave alone.

  The idea: add hysteresis to line-length computations.

- A setting that would suppress all line breaks/joins.

We'll see what the ruff devs say. Many thanks for your heads up.

On second thought, I'm going to add these features myself in a fork. It will be a good first rust project -)

I'll contact the ruff devs if/when I create a PR that does what I want.
