Flake8 rules for SonarPython

[nguyen.v...@gmail.com]

Hey all, 

Is there a PR policy for adding rules to the SonarPython plugin? Also, is there a style guide (I'm not a native Java dev)?

Some background: I'd really like to start leveraging SonarQube for some Python repositories, but I'm using Flake8 for linting (instead of Pylint) currently and an assorted suite of plugin modules that perform various other checks, e.g. flake8-mutable. Since going through and redefining these rules via XPath isn't super ideal I've gone ahead and forked the SonarPython plugin to add some support for Flake8.

Thanks Nguyen for your will to contribute to SonarPython. You can find the SonarSource conventions here : https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/DEV/Contributing

Nevertheless, as mentioned in several blog entries for SonarJava (here) and SonarJS (here), we're working hard to have SonarQube not depending anymore upon any external rule engine. SonarPython is the last one still depending upon Pylint but sooner or later we'll also work to reimplement most valuable Pylint rules. 

So nothing prevents you from forking/extending SonarPython to support Flake8 but I just wanted to make it clear that chance to have this PR integrated into the master is really low.

Thanks for your understanding

Freddy

Hi,

From my experience Python-related tasks are having a very low priority, so if you need the latest bug fixes/improvements of flake8/pylint/etc you will have to wait some months to have them implemented in Sonar.

Kind regards,
