flake8-implicit-str-concat

This is a plugin for the Python code-checking tool Flake8 to encourage correct string literal concatenation.

It looks for style problems like implicitly concatenated string literals on the same line (which can be introduced by the code-formatting tool Black), or unnecessary plus operators for explicit string literal concatenation.

Install

pip install flake8-implicit-str-concat
