Ned's script to check McCabe complexity.
This module provides a plugin for flake8
, the Python code checker.
You can install, upgrade, or uninstall mccabe
with these commands:
$ pip install mccabe $ pip install --upgrade mccabe $ pip uninstall mccabe
The complexity checker can be used directly:
$ python -m mccabe --min 5 mccabe.py ("185:1: 'PathGraphingAstVisitor.visitIf'", 5) ("71:1: 'PathGraph.to_dot'", 5) ("245:1: 'McCabeChecker.run'", 5) ("283:1: 'main'", 7) ("203:1: 'PathGraphingAstVisitor.visitTryExcept'", 5) ("257:1: 'get_code_complexity'", 5)
When both flake8 2+
and mccabe
are installed, the plugin is available in flake8
:
$ flake8 --version 2.0 (pep8: 1.4.2, pyflakes: 0.6.1, mccabe: 0.2)
By default the plugin is disabled. Use the --max-complexity
switch to enable it. It will emit a warning if the McCabe complexity of a function is higher than the provided value:
$ flake8 --max-complexity 10 coolproject ... coolproject/mod.py:1204:1: C901 'CoolFactory.prepare' is too complex (14)
This feature is quite useful for detecting over-complex code. According to McCabe, anything that goes beyond 10 is too complex.
Flake8 has many features that mccabe does not provide. Flake8 allows users to ignore violations reported by plugins with # noqa
. Read more about this in their documentation. To silence violations reported by mccabe
, place your # noqa: C901
on the function definition line, where the error is reported for (possibly a decorator).

value from Flake8's entry-point to an integer.max-complexity
value is now inclusive. E.g.: if the value is 10 and the reported complexity is 10, then it passes.setuptools
