Test and Code: 156: flake8: Python linting framework with pyflakes, pycodestyle, McCabe, and more - Anthony Sottile

flake8 is a command-line tool for linting Python projects.
By default, it includes lint checks provided PyFlakes, PyCodeStyle, and McCabe
It's also a platform, and allows plugins to extend the checks.
flake8 will run third-party extensions if they are found and installed.

But what does all of that mean?

Anthony Sottile is a maintainer of flake8 and has kindly offered to explain it to us.
