Mutable default values are shared across objects. The set in this case.
That’s a funny way to spell Ruff
Yeah I tried Ruff about a year ago and it only had really trivial lints so it wasn’t a good replacement for Pylint. Is it on par yet?
It has implemented about half - I would check which the important ones are, and check if it’s been implemented (which is being tracked in issue 970):
https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/issues/970
Astral claims Ruff has more rules total (about 800), but implemented about half of Pylint (which has 400 rules, so 200 implemented).
What do you mean by trivial? I am not necessarily the most experienced coder, but it does a great job yelling at me to keep methods short and simple.
I’d suggest taking five minutes whenever and look up the ruff ruleset to see if it would be helpful for you.
Also maybe because I don’t know how to use pylint in vs code, but the only semi useful thing it catches for me is if my venv doesn’t have a library the code imports.
Edit: For example, Ruff has caught this bug (mutable argument defaults) in my code before.
