What both publish
| Fact | Clippy | Flake8 |
|---|---|---|
| Configuration | Lint levels can be changed on the command line or in source code, and Clippy supports configuration through `clippy.toml`. | Project configuration can be stored in setup.cfg, tox.ini, or .flake8 using INI format. |
| Installation | Clippy is usually included with rustup toolchains and can be added with `rustup component add clippy`; the minimal profile does not install it automatically. | The official quickstart installs Flake8 with python -m pip install flake8 and recommends invoking the interpreter-specific module when multiple Python versions are installed. |
| Purpose | Clippy is a collection of lints that catches common mistakes and improves Rust code. | Flake8 combines pycodestyle, pyflakes, McCabe, and third-party plugins to check Python code style and quality. |
