pycodestyle is a tool to check your Python code against some of the style
conventions in PEP 8_.
.. _PEP 8: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/
.. note::
This package used to be called ``pep8`` but was renamed to ``pycodestyle``
to reduce confusion. Further discussion can be found `in the issue where
Guido requested this
change <https://github.com/PyCQA/pycodestyle/issues/466>`_, or in the
lightning talk at PyCon 2016 by @IanLee1521:
`slides <https://speakerdeck.com/ianlee1521/pep8-vs-pep-8>`_
`video <https://youtu.be/PulzIT8KYLk?t=36m>`_.Plugin architecture: Adding new checks is easy.
Parseable output: Jump to error location in your editor.
Small: Just one Python file, requires only stdlib. You can use just
the pycodestyle.py file for this purpose.
Comes with a comprehensive test suite.
You can install, upgrade, and uninstall pycodestyle.py with these commands::
$ pip install pycodestyle $ pip install --upgrade pycodestyle $ pip uninstall pycodestyle
There's also a package for Debian/Ubuntu, but it's not always the latest version.
::
$ pycodestyle --first optparse.py optparse.py:69:11: E401 multiple imports on one line optparse.py:77:1: E302 expected 2 blank lines, found 1 optparse.py:88:5: E301 expected 1 blank line, found 0 optparse.py:347:31: E211 whitespace before '(' optparse.py:357:17: E201 whitespace after '{' optparse.py:472:29: E221 multiple spaces before operator
You can also make pycodestyle.py show the source code for each error, and
even the relevant text from PEP 8::
$ pycodestyle --show-source --show-pep8 testing/data/E40.py testing/data/E40.py:2:10: E401 multiple imports on one line import os, sys ^ Imports should usually be on separate lines.
Okay: import os\nimport sys
E401: import sys, osOr you can display how often each error was found::
$ pycodestyle --statistics -qq Python-2.5/Lib 232 E201 whitespace after '[' 599 E202 whitespace before ')' 631 E203 whitespace before ',' 842 E211 whitespace before '(' 2531 E221 multiple spaces before operator 4473 E301 expected 1 blank line, found 0 4006 E302 expected 2 blank lines, found 1 165 E303 too many blank lines (4) 325 E401 multiple imports on one line 3615 E501 line too long (82 characters)
