It reports over 30 distinct error codes (PT001\u2013PT031) covering common mistakes like using @pytest.fixture() with unnecessary parentheses, overly broad exception matching in pytest.raises(), unittest-style assertions instead of pytest idioms, and fixture naming/return-value inconsistencies.\n\nThe plugin works as a flake8 extension, running automatically when you invoke flake8 on your test files. It is configurable via flake8 settings for several rules (fixture parentheses style, parametrize argument types, exception/warning matching requirements) and requires only one runtime dependency. It supports Python 3.10 through 3.14 and is actively maintained.","worth_installing":"Yes. If you use pytest and want automated style enforcement for test code, this plugin is worth installing. It has low install friction, active maintenance, no known vulnerabilities, and catches real mistakes that improve test reliability. The only caveat is that the license treatment is marked unclear in the metadata, though the description states MIT\u2014verify the actual license before use in proprietary projects."},"id":"flake8-pytest-style","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flake8-pytest-style","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flake8-pytest-style.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/flake8-pytest-style/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-10-20","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"flake8-pytest-style","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A flake8 plugin checking common style issues or inconsistencies with pytest-based tests."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":201433,"position":9672,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.2.0"}
