Code quality tools

For .py files:

  • black: Code formatting
  • mypy: Optional static type checking
  • isort: Sorting imports sanely
  • pylance: Fast code quality checking in VSCode

For Jupyter notebooks:

  • nbqa: Run any file checker that would run on .py files instead on .ipynb notebooks.
  • nbstripout: Strip outputs from Jupyter notebooks to make them clean before committing.
