ansible-lint is flake8 compliant with max-line-length set to 100
(see setup.cfg).
ansible-lint works with both Ansible 1.9 and Ansible 2.0 onwards. This will be the case for the foreseeable future, so please ensure all contributions work with both.
Automated tests will be run against all PRs for flake8 compliance and Ansible
compatibility - to check before pushing commits, just use tox.
