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

Since it is extremely likely that you are a Python expert, you could write a Notepad++ Pythonscript to check for this conformity. :)

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 :-)

Often desirable, not always achievable!

There are PEP8 checkers available (for example). 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.

For the record, when I read something like the OP’s question, I presume that they have done their due diligence and have explored external options and have a good reason for wanting to do what they are asking about, inside Notepad++. Not always a good presumption, I guess, but this is a N++ forum, after all. :)
