over-indentation (D208)
Derived from the pydocstyle linter.
Fix is always available.
What it does
Checks for over-indented docstrings.
Why is this bad?
PEP 257 recommends that docstrings be indented to the same level as their opening quotes. Avoid over-indenting docstrings, for consistency.
Example
def sort_list(l: list[int]) -> list[int]:
"""Return a sorted copy of the list.
Sort the list in ascending order and return a copy of the result using the
bubble sort algorithm.
"""
Use instead:
def sort_list(l: list[int]) -> list[int]:
"""Return a sorted copy of the list.
Sort the list in ascending order and return a copy of the result using the bubble
sort algorithm.
"""
Formatter compatibility
We recommend against using this rule alongside the formatter. The formatter enforces consistent indentation, making the rule redundant.
