Of course it's difficult to completely cleanup a large legacy code base. One strategy is to just cleanup the code you're currently working on, following the boy-scout rule - always leaving the code behind in a better state than you found it, or to concentrate on one issue at a time, like W605 - you can always filter your flake8 or pylint output for a special warning. You can also exclude less relevant warnings in flake8 or pylint, and concentrate on the more important ones, and then gradually add rules to the config. Another strategy to avoid the formatting related warnings is to use automatic formatting with "black". -- Christoph
