pydocstyle supports inline commenting to skip specific checks on specific functions or methods. The supported comments that can be added are:

  1. "# noqa" skips all checks.

  2. "# noqa: D102,D203" can be used to skip specific checks. Note that this is compatible with skips from flake8, e.g. # noqa: D102,E501,D203.

For example, this will skip the check for a period at the end of a function docstring:

>>> def bad_function():  # noqa: D400
...     """Omit a period in the docstring as an exception"""
...     pass
