It identifies issues like incorrect whitespace, import formatting, line length, and indentation, outputting results with file location, line number, and error codes that can be parsed by editors and build tools.\n\nThe tool is designed to be lightweight\u2014it requires only the Python standard library and can run as a single file\u2014and includes a plugin architecture for adding custom checks. However, as of version 1.7.1 (2017-10-24), the project is no longer maintained under the pep8 name; the maintainers have redirected users to pycodestyle for ongoing fixes and support.","worth_installing":"No. While pep8 is stable and has no known vulnerabilities, it has been abandoned and explicitly marked as superseded. The package itself warns users that it will no longer be released under this name. Install pycodestyle instead, which is the maintained successor."},"id":"pep8","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pep8","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pep8.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pep8/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2017-10-24","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pep8","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python style guide checker"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1791812,"position":3553,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.7.1"}
