It operates as a flake8 plugin, so it integrates directly into your existing flake8 workflow and can be run from the command line or integrated into CI pipelines and editor plugins. The rules are prefixed with DUO and flag patterns like exec() calls, unsafe deserialization, and other insecure coding practices.\n\nThe package is lightweight\u2014it depends only on flake8\u2014and supports Python 3.8.1 through 3.14. It can be used standalone via the CLI with the --select=DUO flag, embedded in editor linters, or integrated into continuous integration systems. Custom plugins can be built by following a simple naming convention.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. Dlint is a solid choice for adding security-focused linting to Python projects if you already use flake8. The low install friction and permissive license make adoption straightforward. However, the aging maintenance status means you should verify compatibility with your current Python and flake8 versions before relying on it for critical security workflows.
