Head First Python 第2版における、「既存コードが PEP 8 に準拠しているかを調べる」という学習を今日（2021年2月3日）実行するには

現状

Head First Python 第2版 189ページ～193ページの「回り道」部分は、現在では書籍記載の手順をそのまま実行することができません。

py.test --pep8を実行する時点で、以下のようなエラーが発生するためです。

C:\NewBook\ch04> py.test --pep8 vsearch.py
c:\python39\lib\site-packages\pep8.py:110: FutureWarning: Possible nested set at position 1
  EXTRANEOUS_WHITESPACE_REGEX = re.compile(r'[[({] | []}),;:]')

原因

Pytest 6.0 にて適用された、[Node Construction changed to Node.from_parent](https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable /deprecations.html#node-construction-changed-to-node-from-parent)という変更が原因のようです。

私の環境では、インストールされているpytestモジュールのバージョンは6.2.2でした。当該変更が適用されているバージョンですね。

import pytest
print(pytest.__version__)
# => 6.2.2

解決方法

O'Reilly MediaのEratta for Head First Pythonには、原著者Paul氏による記述として、以下の解決方法が記載されています。「pycodestyleモジュールをインストールし、py.testコマンドを--pycodestyleオプション付きで実行する」という解決方法ですね。

Here's some notes from another reader on this issue:

"...However, after going through the internet looking for answers I found a solution that produced the same output > as the one in your book! A forum user posted that the pep8 part of pytest is being renamed to pycodestyle, so when I type

 sudo -H python3 -m install pytest-pycodestyle

it installs the module to check for pep8 compliance, and then call it by

 pytest —pycodestyle *.py

I’m not sure if it is a separate module all together, or it actually is the new name for the pep8 module, but pycodestyle seems to give the same terminal output as pep8 would... "

Note that the published book targets Python 3.5 and that time marches on. 3.9 is just around the corner and pytest 6 recently appeared. Some things change and stuff in the book breaks. This is hard to avoid.

--Paul.

sudo以下のコマンドはUNIX系環境の場合のコマンドなので、Windows環境においてpycodestyleモジュールをインストールするコマンドは以下となります。

管理者シェル

py -3 -m pip install pytest-pycodestyle

pycodestyleモジュールのインストールが完了したら、py.testコマンドを--pycodestyleオプション付きで実行します。すると、エラーは発生しなくなり、本誌189ページに近い出力が得られます。

あとは、本誌189ページ以降の学習を進めていくのです。
