It extends Flake8 to automatically include .pyi files in linting runs and modifies PyFlakes to handle forward references correctly\u2014a feature essential for stub files where types are declared but never executed. The plugin enforces typeshed's style guide through a set of stub-specific lint rules (prefixed with Y0) that catch patterns inappropriate for stub files.\n\nThe plugin is most useful in CI pipelines for projects that maintain type stubs, particularly typeshed itself. It runs on modern Python versions and has minimal dependencies. The documentation notes that running it in a dedicated CI environment is recommended to avoid conflicts with other Flake8 plugins that may flag issues irrelevant to stub files (like missing docstrings).","worth_installing":"Yes, if you maintain or contribute to type stub files (.pyi). The plugin is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and solves a real problem\u2014standard linters are not designed for stub files. Install in a dedicated CI environment to avoid conflicts with other Flake8 plugins. Not necessary for projects that do not use stub files."},"id":"flake8-pyi","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flake8-pyi","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flake8-pyi.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/flake8-pyi/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-11","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"flake8-pyi","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A plugin for flake8 to enable linting .pyi stub files."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":995574,"position":4550,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"26.5.0"}
