This may be frivolous, but I don't know where else to ask, and Google searches aren't helpful... Does anyone here remember the etymology of "noqa"?

It used to be "nopep8" but when Flake8 and Pep8 wanted a common qualifier @florentx suggested "NoQA" as in "No Quality Assurance" (iirc) and it stuck.

Ah, so it _does_ mean "No Q/A" for the usual meaning of Q/A in software development. Thanks!

What's the actual meaning? For ex what does it stand for here https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/blob/master/pandas/tests/io/test_parquet.py#L16
