pointless-string-statement / W0105ΒΆ
Message emitted:
String statement has no effect
Description:
Used when a string is used as a statement (which of course has no effect). This is a particular case of W0104 with its own message so you can easily disable it if you're using those strings as documentation, instead of comments.
Problematic code:
"""This is a docstring which describes the module"""
"""This is not a docstring""" # [pointless-string-statement]
Correct code:
"""This is a docstring which describes the module"""
# This is comment which describes a particular part of the module.
