Flake8 itself is not among the candidate sources, so no product page confirms its own official doors. The sources that do the job of linting Python with annotation/type checking are Astral's Ruff/ty tooling, the Pycqa project (which hosts flake8 and pep8 as indexed actions), and the Python type checkers Mypy and Pyrefly, which check annotated code.
