I would highly suggest using pycharm’s built in inspections. There are a ton and I usually turn on every single one. Each one can be configured with its own logging level (info, warning, error..). Almost all the code issues are usually flagged immediately and can be resolved with just a click. Yes, linters have there place but this works really well and most of the time I don’t have to install any type of longer or formatter thus keeping my requirements.txt or environment.yml file relatively lightweight. Do check it out.
