Ruff: A Powerful New Python Linter in Codacy

We’re excited to introduce Ruff, a blazing-fast Python linter that enhances code quality and performance.
This addition to Codacy’s suite of Python tools strengthens our offering and improves the speed and efficiency of Python linting.
How It Helps You
Ruff is a drop-in replacement for popular tools like Flake8, isort, and Black. It offers several advantages, making it a top choice for developers working with large codebases:
- Lightning-fast performance: Significantly outperforms traditional Python linters.
- Extensive linting rules: Supports over 500 linting rules to enforce best practices.
- Type-aware linting: Ensures higher accuracy in code analysis.
- Compatibility: Works with Python versions up to 3.13.
With the addition of Ruff, we’re continuing to expand our lineup of powerful tools for developers.
We recently introduced Lizard, a tool for measuring code complexity. Be sure to check it out if you haven’t already.
At this stage, Ruff is available in Codacy but is not yet set as the default. We’re closely monitoring feedback and potential issues to ensure a smooth transition before making further changes. Stay tuned as we continue to refine and improve this integration.
