NAME
       pyflakes - simple Python source checker

SYNOPSIS
       pyflakes [file-or-directory ...]

DESCRIPTION
       Pyflakes is a simple program which checks Python source files for errors.  It is similar to PyChecker in scope, but differs in that it does
       not execute the modules to check them. This is both safer and faster, although it does not perform as many checks. Unlike PyLint, Pyflakes
       checks only for logical errors in programs; it does not perform any checks on style.

       All commandline arguments are checked, which have to be either regular files or directories. If a directory is given, every .py file within
       will be checked.

       When no commandline arguments are given, data will be read from standard input.

OUTPUT
       Found warnings including unused imports, undefined variables and unnecessary reimports, are printed on standard output.	Found errors
       including compile or encoding errors, are printed on standard error.

EXIT STATUS
       The exit status is 0 when no warnings or errors are found. Otherwise the exit status is 1.
