How to make it work with python3.8

[Haider8]

I am using python3.8.2 and it is continuously giving me syntax errors. How can I make it work with python3.8? I am using flake8.

Hey! I don't understand your question. PEP8Speaks (flake8 as linter) should work on any Python version.
PEP8Speaks does not have its own linter. Are there any unexpected errors which flake8 does not raise locally for you?

Thanks for your reply! It gives me syntax error when I use walrus operator. Is there any way I can specify the the python version in pep8speaks config file?

Oh interesting! Looks like I will have to update the flake8 and pycodestyle versions that I am using. May I ask you to create a PR? :)

@OrkoHunter Hey, this issue still persists for me. Please take a look at this PR.

Huh, I see.

@OrkoHunter Hi, I get the already mentioned problem with the walrus operator in this PR

EDIT: I exchanged the affected lines in the PR because they got obsolete, but you can still see it in the edit history of the pep8speaks comment if that helps

@vhirtham I wonder if you use pycodestyle instead of flake8 as your linter, the issue goes away? We might need to update some versions of the linters, so that newer versions of Python are supported well.
