describe the problem

what I expected to happen

When I manually specify --select, it should always be used, even if it happens to match the default select list. Currently if the select list matches the default, it is ignored.

sample code

print("hello world!")

commands ran

$ flake8 --select C90,E,F,W test.py
test.py:1:1: D100 Missing docstring in public module
test.py:1:7: Q000 Double quotes found but single quotes preferred

dupe #284

[duncanmmacleod]

Sorry for the noise, looks like this has already been fixed, is there a plan for a release to include the fix?

[asottile]

nope, we never plan to release again

[asottile]

of course there will be a release

[duncanmmacleod]

I'm sorry if I'm asking an annoying question.

I ask because the last release was ~9 months ago, and the fix was pushed ~3 months ago, so am wondering if the next release is planned for ~1 week, ~1 month, ~1 year from now (or not 'planned' at all, but will happen eventually)?

This isn't urgent for me, I'm just curious.

[asottile]

and what would you possibly do with such an answer?

asking for a release is rude, it'll happen when it happens -- if you want to be notified watch the repository

[duncanmmacleod]

@asottile, I'm sorry if I offended, and sorry if I'm now flogging a dead horse. I'm not asking for a release, just curious to know the timeline.

'It'll happen when it happens' is a fine answer for me.

[asottile]

why are you asking for a timeline?

[duncanmmacleod]

I am curious to know when I would be able to install a new version of flake8 that doesn't have the problem I reported. It won't impact any schedules or work plans, I'm just curious.

[asottile]

you can already do that today pip install git+https://github.com/pycqa/flake8
