Question 1

What is a .flake8 configuration file?

Accepted Answer

A `.flake8` file (or `setup.cfg`, `tox.ini` with a `[flake8]` section) is used to configure Flake8, a Python tool that wraps PyFlakes, pycodestyle, and McCabe to check Python code for errors and style issues. The configuration file allows you to specify options like ignore rules, max line length, and plugin settings.

Question 2

How do I use this viewer?

Accepted Answer

Click the "Open Local File" button to select a `.flake8` (or equivalent) configuration file from your device. Its content (typically INI-like) will be displayed as plain text.

Question 3

Does this tool run Flake8?

Accepted Answer

No, this viewer only displays the text content of the configuration file. It does not perform Python code analysis or linting.
