I updated linter-flake8 and I get an error each time I use atom

please help me :(

It looks like you probably updated Python at the same time. That error comes from using Python 3.7.x with the (older) version of pycodestyle bundled with the released version of flake8. You can try making sure you are on the latest version of flake8, but from what I know you will need to downgrade to Python 3.6.x for now.

@Arcanemagus they are all up to date. How do I downgrade python in terminal?

[Arcanemagus]

From the bit of the errors I can see in your Console there it looks like you are running macOS, which unfortunately means you'll have to look elsewhere for detailed help with that.

[miketheknight12]

@Arcanemagus ok, I appreciate the help.

[Arcanemagus]

Just as a sanity check, you do see the same errors when running flake8 in Terminal?

@Arcanemagus yes i believe so /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pep8.py:110: FutureWarning: Possible nested set at position 1 EXTRANEOUS_WHITESPACE_REGEX = re.compile(r'[[({] | []}),;:]')

Yep, you'll have to figure out how to downgrade to 3.6 if you don't need 3.7 right now, most likely through however you installed 3.7.
