Gedit Python checker

A simple gedit plugin for checking python files. Currently checks:

• pep8 conformance with the pycodestyle(former pep8) module
• basic checks using pyflakes

If you have gedit version <=3.10 use the gedit-3.10 branch Current master is for gedit version>=3.14 - though autochecking does not work - only Ctrl-Shift-E or click through Tools menu

There is also git pre-commit hook in tools-git directory which validates pycodestyle/pylint code in similar way as this plugin with two differences:

1. it validates all committed .py files
2. empty ending line is not validated
3. blame for each line is checked and is reported only if the person is on given list

Installation

You will need both the pycodestyle(former pep8) and pyflakes modules, available from pypi.

  pip3 install pyflakes
  pip3 install pycodestyle # pep8 on older distros
