Shared coding conventions allow teams to collaborate effectively. This rule allows to check that all class names match a provided regular
expression.
The default regular expression is based on PEP-8 standard. It allows "CapWords" convention and "snake_case" in lowercase. The "snake_case"
convention is accepted by PEP-8 when the class is primarily used as a callable (ex: decorator, context manager, etc…). However the "CapWords"
convention is recommended in every case.
Noncompliant Code Example
With default provided regular expression ^_?([A-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9]*|[a-z_][a-z0-9_]*)$
:
class myClass: # Noncompliant
...
class my_CONTEXT_manager: # Noncompliant
def __enter__(self):
pass
def __exit__(self, type, value, traceback):
pass
Compliant Solution
class MyClass:
...
class my_context_manager:
def __enter__(self):
pass
def __exit__(self, type, value, traceback):
pass
