<![CDATA[Python PEP8 syntax warnings]]>Hi all,

When editing Python files, I would like a WARNING when my Python source code does not conform to the PEP8 code standard.

For example, when there is whitespace at the end of a line, or when lines are not indented in the right way.

I would NOT like the source code to be modified automatically, I want to do that myself.

Does someone know a way to achieve this?

Regards, Magnus

Not always a good presumption, I guess, but this is a N++ forum, after all. :)

Nothing is currently built in but using something like the PythonScript plugin, NppExec, etc should be possible. With a bit more work you could even highlight the exact locations of each error, etc.

Often desirable, not always achievable!

Nope, I am not an expert…

I would like to have all warnings displayed to me rather than look for them one by one.

I would also prefer using someones work rather than doing it on my own :-)
