Are D203 and D211 in conflict?

[jacebrowning]

From http://pep257.readthedocs.org/en/latest/error_codes.html:

D203: 1 blank line required before class docstring

D211: No blank lines allowed before class docstring

It seems impossible to satisfy both as this fails D211:

class Class:

    """A sample class."""

and this fails D203:

class Class:
    """A sample class."""

What am I missing?

[jacebrowning]

I tend to just disable D203 in my projects.

[Nurdok]

Yes, they are in conflict. D203 should be disabled by default. See #91.

[jacebrowning]

Its seems to be enabled in 0.7.0:

$ cat demo/sample.py
"""A sample module."""


class Class(object):
    """A sample class."""

$ pep257 --version
0.7.0

$ pep257 demo
demo/sample.py:4 in public class `Class`:
        D203: 1 blank line required before class docstring (found 0)

Do you have a configuration file with an ignore option in the same or ancestor directory? I just checked 0.7.0 in a virtualenv and it behaves as expected.

[jacebrowning]

Yes:

[pep257]

ignore = D202

Is the presence of an ignore option going to enable normally disabled rules?

[Nurdok]

Yes. If you want to add your ignore to the list instead of overriding it, use add-ignore in the config file (or --add-ignore in the command line).

Thanks!
