With newer pycodestyle 2.6.0 (which is part of flake8-3.8.2) reports the following pep violation during syntax-check: ../scripts/check-remote-protocol.py:95:9: E741 ambiguous variable name 'l' for l in err.strip().split("\n") On all the distros we test on, this hasn't occurred yet, but with the future update of flake8 it likely would. The fix is easy, just name the variable appropriately. Signed-off-by: Erik Skultety <eskultet@xxxxxxxxxx> --- The weird thing is that E741 checking has been in pycodestyle since 2.1.0 [1], we now have 2.5.0 and yet only 2.6.0 is complaining about it [1] https://pycodestyle.pycqa.org/en/latest/developer.html#id8 scripts/check-remote-protocol.py | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/scripts/check-remote-protocol.py b/scripts/check-remote-protocol.py index 25caa19563..cf9e3f84a1 100644 --- a/scripts/check-remote-protocol.py +++ b/scripts/check-remote-protocol.py @@ -92,8 +92,8 @@ if out == "" or pdwtagsproc.returncode != 0: else: print("WARNING: exit code %d, pdwtags appears broken:" % pdwtagsproc.returncode, file=sys.stderr) - for l in err.strip().split("\n"): - print("WARNING: %s" % l, file=sys.stderr) + for line in err.strip().split("\n"): + print("WARNING: %s" % line, file=sys.stderr) print("WARNING: skipping the remote protocol test", file=sys.stderr) sys.exit(0) -- 2.25.4
