Bad class method argument

Used when a class method has a first argument named differently than the value specified in valid-classmethod-first-arg option (default to "cls"), recommended to easily differentiate them from regular instance methods.

Noncompliant Code:

Copy
class Foo:
    def __new__(some):
        pass

Compliant Code:

Copy
class Foo:
    def __new__(cls):
        pass
