When installed alongside flake8, it automatically becomes available and checks for naming violations: class names should use CapWords, functions and variables should be lowercase, method arguments should follow specific patterns (cls for classmethods, self for instance methods), and imports should preserve the naming style of their source. It emits error codes N801 through N818 to identify specific violations.\n\nThe plugin integrates seamlessly into your existing flake8 workflow\u2014once installed, it runs without additional configuration. It provides options to ignore specific names or patterns (useful for test frameworks that use setUp/tearDown conventions), and to recognize custom decorators as classmethods or staticmethods to avoid false positives. It supports Python 3.9+ and has been maintained since 2013.","worth_installing":"Yes. pep8-naming is a lightweight, zero-configuration flake8 extension that adds genuine value to code quality checks. It has no security vulnerabilities, permissive licensing, and low install friction. The aging maintenance status (466 days since release) is not a blocker\u2014the plugin's scope is narrow and stable, and the underlying PEP 8 standard does not change frequently. Install it if you use flake8 and want to enforce naming conventions."},"id":"pep8-naming","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pep8-naming","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pep8-naming.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pep8-naming/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-05-05","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pep8-naming","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Check PEP-8 naming conventions, plugin for flake8"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":2811840,"position":2880,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.15.1"}
