describe the problem

what I expected to happen

Well, it gave me W504 first for not having "\" after arithmetic operator, but after fixing that it failed with E502 for having a redundant backslash between brackets. Which is kind of contradictory and circular.

sample code

	                    audio_flt = audio_flt[:, audio_start:audio_start + \
	                                          self.segment_size]

commands ran

$ flake8 --format="%(code)s|%(path)s:%(row)d|%(text)s" --exit-zero --ignore=I000
...

.flake8 is as follows

[flake8]
exclude = venv
count = True
show-source = True
statistics = True

W504 is "there is a line break after a binary operator" not "add a backslash after a binary operator" -- also it is off by default so you've opted into it (usually by misusing exclude when you mean extend-exclude). also there are no checks implemented here -- please don't ignore the messaging in the issue template and issue form
