The Autoflake Python code formatter (https://github.com/myint/autoflake).

Config section: <span style="color: purple"><code>[autoflake]</code></span>

## Basic options

<div style="color: purple"> <h3><code>skip</code></h3> <code>--[no-]autoflake-skip</code><br> <code>PANTS_AUTOFLAKE_SKIP</code><br> </div> <div style="padding-left: 2em;"> <span style="color: green">default: <code>False</code></span>

<br>

Don't use Autoflake when running `./pants fmt` and `./pants lint`

</div> <br>

<div style="color: purple"> <h3><code>args</code></h3> <code>--autoflake-args=&quot;[&lt;shell_str&gt;, &lt;shell_str&gt;, ...]&quot;</code><br> <code>PANTS_AUTOFLAKE_ARGS</code><br> </div> <div style="padding-left: 2em;"> <span style="color: green">default: <code>[]</code></span>

<br>

Arguments to pass directly to Autoflake, e.g. `--autoflake-args="--target-version=py37 --quiet"`

</div> <br>

## Advanced options

<div style="color: purple"> <h3><code>version</code></h3> <code>--autoflake-version=&lt;str&gt;</code><br> <code>PANTS_AUTOFLAKE_VERSION</code><br> </div> <div style="padding-left: 2em;"> <span style="color: green">default: <code>autoflake==1.4</code></span>

<br>

Requirement string for the tool.

</div> <br>

<div style="color: purple"> <h3><code>extra_requirements</code></h3> <code>--autoflake-extra-requirements=&quot;['&lt;str&gt;', '&lt;str&gt;', ...]&quot;</code><br> <code>PANTS_AUTOFLAKE_EXTRA_REQUIREMENTS</code><br> </div> <div style="padding-left: 2em;"> <span style="color: green">default: <code>[]</code></span>

<br>

Any additional requirement strings to use with the tool. This is useful if the tool allows you to install plugins or if you need to constrain a dependency to a certain version.

</div> <br>

<div style="color: purple"> <h3><code>interpreter_constraints</code></h3> <code>--autoflake-interpreter-constraints=&quot;['&lt;str&gt;', '&lt;str&gt;', ...]&quot;</code><br> <code>PANTS_AUTOFLAKE_INTERPRETER_CONSTRAINTS</code><br> </div> <div style="padding-left: 2em;"> <span style="color: green">default: <pre>[ "CPython&gt;=3.7,&lt;4" ]</pre></span>

<br>

Python interpreter constraints for this tool.

</div> <br>

<div style="color: purple"> <h3><code>lockfile</code></h3> <code>--autoflake-lockfile=&lt;str&gt;</code><br> <code>PANTS_AUTOFLAKE_LOCKFILE</code><br> </div> <div style="padding-left: 2em;"> <span style="color: green">default: <code>&lt;default&gt;</code></span>

<br>

Path to a lockfile used for installing the tool.

Set to the string `<default>` to use a lockfile provided by Pants, so long as you have not changed the `--version` and `--extra-requirements` options, and the tool's interpreter constraints are compatible with the default. Pants will error or warn if the lockfile is not compatible (controlled by `[python].invalid_lockfile_behavior`). See https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/blob/release_2.8.1rc2/src/python/pants/backend/python/lint/autoflake/lockfile.txt for the default lockfile contents.

Set to the string `<none>` to opt out of using a lockfile. We do not recommend this, though, as lockfiles are essential for reproducible builds.

To use a custom lockfile, set this option to a file path relative to the build root, then run `./pants generate-lockfiles --resolve=autoflake`.

Lockfile generation currently does not wire up the `[python-repos]` options. If lockfile generation fails, you can manually generate a lockfile, such as by using pip-compile or `pip freeze`. Set this option to the path to your manually generated lockfile. When manually maintaining lockfiles, set `[python].invalid_lockfile_behavior = 'ignore'`.

</div> <br>

<div style="color: purple"> <h3><code>console_script</code></h3> <code>--autoflake-console-script=&lt;str&gt;</code><br> <code>PANTS_AUTOFLAKE_CONSOLE_SCRIPT</code><br> </div> <div style="padding-left: 2em;"> <span style="color: green">default: <code>autoflake</code></span>

<br>

The console script for the tool. Using this option is generally preferable to (and mutually exclusive with) specifying an --entry-point since console script names have a higher expectation of staying stable across releases of the tool. Usually, you will not want to change this from the default.

</div> <br>

<div style="color: purple"> <h3><code>entry_point</code></h3> <code>--autoflake-entry-point=&lt;str&gt;</code><br> <code>PANTS_AUTOFLAKE_ENTRY_POINT</code><br> </div> <div style="padding-left: 2em;"> <span style="color: green">default: <code>None</code></span>

<br>

The entry point for the tool. Generally you only want to use this option if the tool does not offer a --console-script (which this option is mutually exclusive with). Usually, you will not want to change this from the default.

</div> <br>

## Deprecated options
