AutoPep8 does not respect user settings for `"ignore"`

[charlesdaniels]

My config file follows

{
    "max-line-length": 79,

    // do not fix these errors / warnings(e.g. E4, W)
    "ignore": "E266",

    // select errors / warnings(e.g. E4, W)
    "select": "",

    // enable possibly unsafe changes (E711, E712)
    "aggressive": 0,

    // number of spaces per indent level
    "indent-size": 4,

    "format_on_save": false,
    "show_output_panel": true,
    // Format/Preview menu items only appear for views
    // with syntax from `syntax_list`
    // value is base filename of the .tmLanguage syntax files
    "syntax_list": ["Python"],

    "file_menu_search_depth": 3, // max depth to search python files

    "avoid_new_line_in_select_mode": false,

    // print debug info into the console
    "debug": true
}

When running AueoPEP8 on a source file which contains comments with two leading # characters, it still removes one of them. This is problematic, because I use Doxygen, which detects function/class documentation blocks by searching for comments whose first line begin with ##.

Maybe I am missing something, but I can't think of anything else to try.

Any help appreciated!

@charlesdaniels, Could you please install dev version of SublimeAutoPep8 using install_prereleases option of Package Control settings:

"install_prereleases":
    [
        "AutoPEP8"
    ],

and provide example of source file and output of Sublime Console(View -> Show Console). Thank you.

[charlesdaniels]

I made the change, and updated AutoPEP8.

Here is an example of a source file which is affected by this issue. On my sublime install, running AutoPEP8 with the config file mentioned in the issue causes the Doxygen comment blocks (beginning with ##, see line 12 for an example) to turn into normal comment blocks.

As I did not mention it, I am running OSX El Capitan and Sublime Text 3, Stable Channel, Build 3083.

Here is the console output starting Sublime Text 3, then running autoPEP8 on my source file.

@charlesdaniels, you can change default behaviour by ignoring E265 and E266 errors. Just put these codes into ignore option of AutoPep8 User settings:

"ignore": "E265, E266",

More information about codes is here: http://pep8.readthedocs.org/en/latest/intro.html#error-codes

[wistful]

Do not forget to remove AutoPep8 package from the install_prereleases and install last stable version as dev versions might be unstable.

[charlesdaniels]

That fixed the problem, I didn't realize I needed to ignore E265 and E266, as the pep8 standalone program was only showing E266. Thanks for your help!
