Python PEP-8 and PyFlakes checker for SublimeText 2 editor

This project is a plugin for SublimeText 2 text editor. It checks all python files you opening and editing through two popular Python checkers - pep8 and PyFlakes.

Installation

Go to your Packages dir (Sublime Text 2 -> Preferences -> Browse Packages). Clone this repository into Packages subdirectory:

git clone git://github.com/vorushin/sublimetext_python_checker.git

Go to sublimetext_python_checker/python_checker.py and set your preferred checkers by editing CHECKERS variable.

CHECKERS = ['/Users/vorushin/.virtualenvs/answers/bin/pep8',
            '/Users/vorushin/.virtualenvs/answers/bin/pyflakes']

Restart SublimeText 2 and open some *.py file to see check results. You can see additional information in python console of your editor (go View -> Show Console).

Why not sublimelint

Before creating this project I used sublimelint, which is multilanguage checker/linter. I described pros and cons of both below.

sublimelint

• can't use your Python version or your virtualenv
• don't check with pep8
• do checks on every edit
• do checks for Python (derivative of pyflakes), PHP, Perl, Ruby

sublimetext_python_checker

• can use your version of Python and your virtualenv
• do checks only on opening and saving files
• checks only Python files
• checks with pep8 and pyflakes
• all this in no more than 100 LOC
