Python Syntax Checking: Migrate from pep8 to pycodestyle

Feature Ideas
1

Hi,

The Python pep8 project was forked to the pycodestyle project nearly two years ago. The pep8 project is no longer being maintained/updated.

As far as I can tell, neither Komodo 10 nor Komodo 11 are using pycodestyle. They’re still using pep8. I’ve reached this conclusion by examining the contents of the lib/mozilla/components/koPyhonLinter.py file.

While I can certainly run pycodestyle manually from the command line, I do find that to be a disruption of my workflow and not as convenient as being able to have Komodo flag issues for me in near real time.

@jaysmith nice find,

Prominently note via warning message that the tool is no longer released as pep8 and will only be fixed in the pycodestyle package
ref: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pep8

No discussion needed here. Go ahead and file an enhancement request:

Thanks again!
