NAME

       pyflakes - simple Python 2 source checker

SYNOPSIS

       pyflakes [file-or-directory ...]

DESCRIPTION

       pyflakes is a simple program which checks Python source files for errors.  It is similar
       to PyChecker in scope, but differs in that it does not execute the modules to check them.
       This is both safer and faster, although it does not perform as many checks. Unlike PyLint,
       Pyflakes checks only for logical errors in programs; it does not perform any checks on
       style.

       All commandline arguments are checked, which have to be either regular files or
       directories. If a directory is given, every .py file within will be checked.

       When no commandline arguments are given, data will be read from standard input.

OUTPUT

       Found warnings including unused imports, undefined variables and unnecessary reimports,
       are printed on standard output.  Found errors including compile or encoding errors, are
       printed on standard error.

EXIT STATUS

       The exit status is 0 when no warnings or errors are found. Otherwise the exit status is 1.
