flake8-2020
===========
flake8 plugin which checks for misuse of `sys.version` or `sys.version_info`
this will become a problem when `python3.10` or `python4.0` exists (presumably
during the year 2020).
you might also find an early build of [python3.10] useful
[python3.10]: https://github.com/asottile/python3.10
## installation
```bash
pip install flake8-2020
```
## flake8 codes
| Code | Description |
|--------|--------------------------------------------------------|
| YTT101 | `sys.version[:3]` referenced (python3.10) |
| YTT102 | `sys.version[2]` referenced (python3.10) |
| YTT103 | `sys.version` compared to string (python3.10) |
| YTT201 | `sys.version_info[0] == 3` referenced (python4) |
| YTT202 | `six.PY3` referenced (python4) |
| YTT203 | `sys.version_info[1]` compared to integer (python4) |
| YTT204 | `sys.version_info.minor` compared to integer (python4) |
| YTT301 | `sys.version[0]` referenced (python10) |
| YTT302 | `sys.version` compared to string (python10) |
| YTT303 | `sys.version[:1]` referenced (python10) |
## rationale
lots of code incorrectly references the `sys.version` and `sys.version_info`
members. in particular, this will cause some issues when the version of python
after python3.9 is released. my current recommendation is 3.10 since I believe
it breaks less code, here's a few patterns that will cause issues:
```python
# in python3.10 this will report as '3.1' (should be '3.10')
python_version = sys.version[:3] # YTT101
# in python3.10 this will report as '1' (should be '10')
py_minor = sys.version[2]
# in python3.10 this will be False (which goes against developer intention)
sys.version >= '3.5' # YTT103
# correct way to do this
python_version = '{}.{}'.format(*sys.version_info)
py_minor = str(sys.version_info[1])
sys.version_info >= (3, 5)
```
```python
# in python4 this will report as `False` (and suddenly run python2 code!)
is_py3 = sys.version_info[0] == 3 # YTT201
# in python4 this will report as `False` (six violates YTT201!)
if six.PY3: # YTT202
print('python3!')
if sys.version_info[0] >= 3 and sys.version_info[1] >= 5: # YTT203
print('py35+')
if sys.version_info.major >= 3 and sys.version_info.minor >= 6: # YTT204
print('py36+')
# correct way to do this
is_py3 = sys.version_info >= (3,)
if not six.PY2:
print('python3!')
if sys.version_info >= (3, 5):
print('py35+')
if sys.version_info >= (3, 6):
print('py36+')
```
```python
# in python10 this will report as '1'
python_major_version = sys.version[0] # YTT301
# in python10 this will be False
if sys.version >= '3': # YTT302
print('python3!')
# in python10 this will be False
if sys.version[:1] >= '3': # YTT303
print('python3!')
# correct way to do this
python_major_version = str(sys.version_info[0])
if sys.version_info >= (3,):
print('python3!')
if sys.version_info >= (3,):
print('python3!')
```
