bad-quotes-inline-string (Q000)

Derived from the flake8-quotes linter.

Fix is sometimes available.

What it does

Checks for inline strings that use single quotes or double quotes, depending on the value of the lint.flake8-quotes.inline-quotes option.

Why is this bad?

Consistency is good. Use either single or double quotes for inline strings, but be consistent.

Example

foo = 'bar'

Assuming inline-quotes is set to double, use instead:

foo = "bar"

Options

Formatter compatibility

We recommend against using this rule alongside the formatter. The formatter enforces consistent quotes for inline strings, making the rule redundant.
