Ann Campbell and used by SonarSource and CodeClimate. It analyzes Python functions and reports violations when complexity exceeds a threshold you set, defaulting to 7. The plugin integrates directly into flake8's workflow and emits error code CCR001 when a function's cognitive complexity is too high.\n\nThe package has no runtime dependencies and works by analyzing control flow in your code. However, it is abandoned: the last release was 2020-08-01 and the last commit to the repository was 2021-02-24. This means it may not be compatible with recent versions of flake8 or Python versions beyond 3.8, and bugs or incompatibilities will not be fixed.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last update 2021-02-24) and untested with modern Python or flake8 versions. While the idea is sound and the MIT license is permissive, the lack of maintenance means you risk compatibility breakage and unpatched issues. Consider an actively maintained alternative or a more recent cognitive-complexity linter."},"id":"flake8-cognitive-complexity","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flake8-cognitive-complexity","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flake8-cognitive-complexity.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/flake8-cognitive-complexity/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-08-01","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"flake8-cognitive-complexity","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"An extension for flake8 that validates cognitive functions complexity"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":298539,"position":7873,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.1.0"}
