Implement PEP8-compliant style about chiantipy HOT 8 CLOSED

I will see if there is a way to implement a PEP8 checker in my IDE. I think some have it.

@kdere many integrate with something like flake8. What IDE are you using?

i am using the Eric IDE. I don't immediately seen a plugin for flake but flake8 is available as a command-line too.

I did not know that IDE existed, cool! The homepage for it claims it has automatic PEP 8 checking!

Besides the usual PEP8 fixes (line lengths, spaces after commas, etc.), we should also think about changing the class, function, and variable naming convention in ChiantiPy. Roughly, this means making class names use the "CapWords" convention and letting function and variables names use lowercase with words separated by underscores.

There's also the pep8speaks bot for automatically linting PRs.

I could not figure out how to do PEP8 checking in eric but here is the email I got from Detlev Offenbach

Hello Ken,

the code style checker performs checks according to PEP8 and many others
(codes starting with E and W are mostly PEP8 related). PEP257 is dealing with
source code documentation style. The included checker has two styles,
documentation iaw. PEP257 and the eric docu style, which is derived from it.

The summary is, you are not missing anything.

Regards,
Detlev

Hi,

this is not really bug but could not find the address for the mailing list

I am trying to make my code more compatible with the PEP8 standards.

If I go to project/show code style it only give me the option for PEP257

the PluginCodeStyleChecker seems to be installed

I guess I am missing something

thanks,

Ken

Theres also the pep8 command line tool. A bit less convenient, but you could just run that before each commit.

Between that and the pep8speaks bot, that would probably be more than sufficient.
