Show HN: Refurb – A tool for refurbishing and modernizing Python codebases

Re:Show HN: Refurb – A tool for refurbishing and modernizing... by usrme on Wednesday September 28, 2022 @06:29AM (#33006425)

Are the authors aware of Sourcery[^1]? I've been using it for a long time to clean up and modernize my Python codebases, and am wondering how Refurb can either supplant Sourcery or augment my usage of it?

I have never heard of Sourcery, but I will take a look at it. From what I can tell, Refurb is a CLI only tool (at least, for now), whereas Sourcery is more aimed at IDEs. Refurb should play along nicely with most other linters, though you may need to configure things first.

I got a good chuckle out of them having a PyCharm plugin. I'm not going to create an account just to kick the tires on that, but I'd be stunned if they out-magick PyCharm

Sourcery looks to be a commercial product of some kind whereas I can just `pipx install refurb`
