Code Not Conforming To PEP8 Standards

[Xceptions]

Hi all,

I have been an avid user of DRF in my projects but only decided to start contributing to it just recently. And the first place I decided to check, of course, was for typos and non-conforming codes

The contributing page says

Changes should broadly follow the PEP8 style conventions, and we recommend you set up your editor to automatically indicate non-conforming styles.

However, when I pasted the code from the serializers.py page into the PEP8 online checker, it brought back a lot of line too long errors. E.g.

line too long (88 > 79 characters)

Is this to be ignored or do I go-ahead to work on shortening the codes on each line?
Thanks in advance.

Hi @Xceptions — yes, that's ignored. See the flake8 config here:

django-rest-framework/setup.cfg

Lines 8 to 10 in ec29ff8

	[flake8]
	ignore = E501,W504
	banned-modules = json = use from rest_framework.utils import json!

Okay. Thanks for the reply
