| pep8 - Python style guide checker |
| ================================= |
| |
| pep8 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/ |
| |
| |
| Features |
| -------- |
| |
| * 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 pep8.py file for this purpose. |
| |
| * Comes with a comprehensive test suite. |
| |
| Installation |
| ------------ |
| |
| You can install, upgrade, uninstall pep8.py with these commands:: |
| |
| $ pip install pep8 |
| $ pip install --upgrade pep8 |
| $ pip uninstall pep8 |
| |
| There's also a package for Debian/Ubuntu, but it's not always the |
| latest version. |
| |
| Example usage and output |
| ------------------------ |
| |
| :: |
| |
| $ pep8 --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:222:34: W602 deprecated form of raising exception |
| optparse.py:347:31: E211 whitespace before '(' |
| optparse.py:357:17: E201 whitespace after '{' |
| optparse.py:472:29: E221 multiple spaces before operator |
| optparse.py:544:21: W601 .has_key() is deprecated, use 'in' |
| |
| You can also make pep8.py show the source code for each error, and |
| even the relevant text from PEP 8:: |
| |
| $ pep8 --show-source --show-pep8 testsuite/E40.py |
| testsuite/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, os |
| |
| |
| Or you can display how often each error was found:: |
| |
| $ pep8 --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) |
| 612 W601 .has_key() is deprecated, use 'in' |
| 1188 W602 deprecated form of raising exception |
