It isn't "space". Got an example for that warning? I don't use PyCharm, but the main linter warning I get is an _unused_ variable, eg:

    def f():
        x = 3

I set x and never use it. Likely brain fade on my part, and worth a warning.

I haven’t seen that one. What I get is warnings about:

def is_adult( self )->bool:
    LEGAL_AGE_US = 21

It doesn’t like LEGAL_AGE_US being all caps if declared in a function.

Yes, I suffered this one too.

The rationale comes from PEP-008 (Constants):

Constants are usually defined on a module level and written in all capital letters with underscores separating words.

Yeah. The above looks like a method. I'd probably have something like:

    class C:

        LEGAL_AGE_US = 21

        def is_adult(self) -> bool:
            return self.age >= self.LEGAL_AGE_US

Variables used (self). Constant a class attribute.
