Checks for copyright notices in all python files. It runs a simple regular expression search for strings like:
Copyright 2014 <author> Copyright (C) 2014 <author>
<author> can be anything unless you specify it with the copyright-author option (see below).
Install with pip:
pip install flake8-copyright
Then, activate copyright checks in your flake8 configuration with:
copyright-check = True # C errors are not selected by default, so add them to your selection select = E,F,W,C
- copyright-min-file-size
- Minimum number of characters in a file before requiring a copyright notice. This is to avoid
forcing yourself to add copyright notices to very small or empty files. Default:
0. - copyright-author
- Checks for a specific author in the copyright notice.
- copyright-regexp
- If you're not happy with the regexp that is ran to look for copyright notices, you can change it
with this option. Default:
Copyright\s+(\(C\)\s+)?\d{4}([-,]\d{4})*\s+%(author)s.%(author)sis replaced by the contents ofcopyright-author.
