It runs automatically whenever you invoke flake8 and reports five specific error codes: EXE001 (shebang present but file not executable), EXE002 (file executable but no shebang), EXE003 (shebang missing \"python\"), EXE004 (whitespace before shebang), and EXE005 (blank or comment lines before shebang).\n\nThe plugin integrates directly into your existing Flake8 workflow with no additional configuration needed beyond installation. It depends only on flake8 itself and supports Python 3.7 through 3.11. The package is actively maintained, has no known security vulnerabilities, and is used by thousands of developers monthly.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you use Flake8 and want to enforce executable-permission and shebang correctness. The plugin is lightweight, has no security vulnerabilities, and integrates seamlessly into your existing linting workflow. The copyleft license is not a barrier for most development use. Install it if your team or project cares about consistent script permissions; skip it if you don't distribute or run Python files as executables."},"id":"flake8-executable","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flake8-executable","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flake8-executable.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/flake8-executable/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-01-23","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"flake8-executable","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A Flake8 plugin for checking executable permissions and shebangs."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":238042,"position":8949,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.1.3"}
