No emit message in "missing whitespace around operator"

[moylop260]

Steps to reproduce

1. Use the following code var = 3+0
2. Run flake8 --show-source --select=E226 file.py
3. See the outuput: file.py:1:6: E226 missing whitespace around arithmetic operator
4. Run pylint -d invalid-name,missing-docstring file.py

Current behaviour

Not emit messages.

Expected behaviour

Should we emit the message of missing whitespace around operator?

pylint --version output

I agree that we should have a message for this.

I think we don't have to mimic any flake8 or PEP 8 message for that matter, it would be an effort spent on things which are already handled quite well by other tools. I use pep8 in combination with pylint all the time, since I don't expect pylint to follow PEP 8 to the heart. That is, if anyone is willing to provide the code for such a check, I would not mind adding in, but I don't want to spend time on implementing it either.

We're not going to merge new formatting check as black and other tools handle this better than pylint and we removed bad-whitespace in #3577 and bad-continuation in #3571.

It looks strange this bug is closed.
For those who came from google and want to enable such warning in vs code, I just switched to flake8 with such settings.json:

{
    "python.linting.enabled": true,
    "python.linting.flake8Enabled": true,
    "python.linting.flake8Args": [
    ],
}

And in panel I now can see the error I want:

I'd suggest using black to autoformat your code, you don't have to waste time adding a linter to warn about whitespaces around operator then also waste time by fixing them manually.
