3

I'm using flake8 to check my code with ale plugin. I found a way to make it work with Python 3, but it seems it does not recognize Cython file (.pyx) even if we set as follows.

let g:ale_linters = {
\   'cython': ['flake8']
\}

I also tried

let g:ale_command_wrapper = "source activate py36; %* --filetype=*.py,*.pyx "

Is there any way to set it?

    Flake8 isn't supported for PyRex/Cython files. See :help ale or the README which lists all the supported linters. You'll have to make a PR to Ale to add it (which is actually pretty easy to do!) – Martin Tournoij Aug 22 '18 at 11:03

I have never worked on cython, so really don't know if it has a different syntax or something. If the syntax is the same as python, it should be as easy as telling vim to interpret the cython file as a normal python file:

:set filetype=python

Also, instead of setting the filetype on each file, you can define an autocommand in your vimrc as follows:

autocommand BufEnter *.pyx setlocal filetype=python

  • Thanks for your comment. Yes, Cython has slightly different syntax from normal Python, and the problem is my syntax highlighter recognizes *.pyx (pyrex) files. If I change the filetype, it works for ALE but highlighting is gone. – user2978524 Aug 19 '18 at 10:50
