Create diff for a specific pep8 issue

[AbdealiLoKo]

I'm trying to use autopep8 to automate a few things. This is my workflow:

• I want to run pep8 on a code base and list all the results.
• Then I want the user to specify specific issues he wants fixed
• Then autopep8 should only fix these issues.

I notice with --select I can choose which errors autopep8 fixes, how do I specify a specific issue (I guess this is characterized by line, column, issue code) to fix ?

Could you help me on how to do this ?

Example: I have a file with the line print( sys.path, ( 2)) This raises

test.py:1:7: E201 whitespace after '('
test.py:1:19: E201 whitespace after '('

So, I run autopep8 test.py --select=E201 --range 1 1 --diff but this fixes both errors.

I suppose that might work. I have no idea if all of autopep8's fixers respect columns though. There may or may not be fixers that fix the whole line.

By the way, I'm not sure how the title of this issue "Show error along with creating diff" relates to the contents of the issue.

Note that in https://github.com/hhatto/autopep8/commit/73837064845802307e7d31e29e3ebc34626dd00f --range was given new name --line-range to be more correct. I guess --range is implicitly deprecated.
