line-contains-xxx (FIX003)#

Derived from the flake8-fixme linter.

What it does#

Checks for "XXX" comments.

Why is this bad?#

"XXX" comments are used to describe an issue that should be resolved.

Consider resolving the issue before deploying the code, or, at minimum, using a more descriptive comment tag (e.g, "TODO").

Example#

def speed(distance, time):
    return distance / time  # XXX: Raises ZeroDivisionError for time = 0.
