pydocstyle

A tool for checking compliance with Python docstring conventions (http://www.pydocstyle.org/en/stable/).

Backend: pants.backend.python.lint.pydocstyle

Config section: [pydocstyle]

Basic options​

args​

--pydocstyle-args="[<shell_str>, <shell_str>, ...]"
PANTS_PYDOCSTYLE_ARGS
pants.toml
[pydocstyle]
args = [
    <shell_str>,
    <shell_str>,
    ...,
]
default: []

Arguments to pass directly to Pydocstyle, e.g. --pydocstyle-args='--select=D101,D102'.

skip​

--[no-]pydocstyle-skip
PANTS_PYDOCSTYLE_SKIP
pants.toml
[pydocstyle]
skip = <bool>
default: False

If true, don't use Pydocstyle when running pants lint.

Advanced options​

config​

--pydocstyle-config=<file_option>
PANTS_PYDOCSTYLE_CONFIG
pants.toml
[pydocstyle]
config = <file_option>
default: None

Path to a Pydocstyle config file (http://www.pydocstyle.org/en/stable/usage.html#configuration-files).

config_discovery​

--[no-]pydocstyle-config-discovery
PANTS_PYDOCSTYLE_CONFIG_DISCOVERY
pants.toml
[pydocstyle]
config_discovery = <bool>
default: True

If true, Pants will include any relevant config files during runs (setup.cfg, tox.ini, .pydocstyle, .pydocstyle.ini, .pydocstylerc, .pydocstylerc.ini, and pyproject.toml) searching for the configuration file in this particular order.

Please note that even though pydocstyle keeps looking for a configuration file up the directory tree until one is found, Pants will only search for the config files in the repository root (from where you would normally run the pants command).

Use [pydocstyle].config instead if your config is in a non-standard location.

console_script​

--pydocstyle-console-script=<str>
PANTS_PYDOCSTYLE_CONSOLE_SCRIPT
pants.toml
[pydocstyle]
console_script = <str>
default: pydocstyle

The console script for the tool. Using this option is generally preferable to (and mutually exclusive with) specifying an --entry-point since console script names have a higher expectation of staying stable across releases of the tool. Usually, you will not want to change this from the default.

entry_point​

--pydocstyle-entry-point=<str>
PANTS_PYDOCSTYLE_ENTRY_POINT
pants.toml
[pydocstyle]
entry_point = <str>
default: None

The entry point for the tool. Generally you only want to use this option if the tool does not offer a --console-script (which this option is mutually exclusive with). Usually, you will not want to change this from the default.

install_from_resolve​

--pydocstyle-install-from-resolve=<str>
PANTS_PYDOCSTYLE_INSTALL_FROM_RESOLVE
pants.toml
[pydocstyle]
install_from_resolve = <str>
default: None

If specified, install the tool using the lockfile for this named resolve.

This resolve must be defined in [python].resolves, as described in https://www.pantsbuild.org/2.21/docs/python/overview/third-party-dependencies#user-lockfiles.

The resolve's entire lockfile will be installed, unless specific requirements are listed via the requirements option, in which case only those requirements will be installed. This is useful if you don't want to invalidate the tool's outputs when the resolve incurs changes to unrelated requirements.

If unspecified, and the lockfile option is unset, the tool will be installed using the default lockfile shipped with Pants.

If unspecified, and the lockfile option is set, the tool will use the custom pydocstyle "tool lockfile" generated from the version and extra_requirements options. But note that this mechanism is deprecated.

interpreter_constraints​

--pydocstyle-interpreter-constraints="['<str>', '<str>', ...]"
PANTS_PYDOCSTYLE_INTERPRETER_CONSTRAINTS
pants.toml
[pydocstyle]
interpreter_constraints = [
    '<str>',
    '<str>',
    ...,
]
default: 
[
  "CPython>=3.7,<4"
]

Python interpreter constraints for this tool.

requirements​

--pydocstyle-requirements="['<str>', '<str>', ...]"
PANTS_PYDOCSTYLE_REQUIREMENTS
pants.toml
[pydocstyle]
requirements = [
    '<str>',
    '<str>',
    ...,
]
default: []

If install_from_resolve is specified, install these requirements, at the versions provided by the specified resolve's lockfile.

Values can be pip-style requirements (e.g., tool or tool==1.2.3 or tool>=1.2.3), or addresses of python_requirement targets (or targets that generate or depend on python_requirement targets).

The lockfile will be validated against the requirements - if a lockfile doesn't provide the requirement (at a suitable version, if the requirement specifies version constraints) Pants will error.

If unspecified, install the entire lockfile.

Deprecated options​
