p-print (T203)
Derived from the flake8-print linter.
Fix is sometimes available.
What it does
Checks for pprint
statements.
Why is this bad?
Like print
statements, pprint
statements used for debugging should
be omitted from production code. They can lead the accidental inclusion
of sensitive information in logs, and are not configurable by clients,
unlike logging
statements.
pprint
statements used to produce output as a part of a command-line
interface program are not typically a problem.
Example
import pprint
def merge_dicts(dict_a, dict_b):
dict_c = {**dict_a, **dict_b}
pprint.pprint(dict_c)
return dict_c
Use instead:
Fix safety
This rule's fix is marked as unsafe, as it will remove pprint
statements
that are used beyond debugging purposes.
