Purpose: pycodestyle checks Python code against some of the style conventions in PEP 8.
Plugins: Its plugin architecture makes it easy to add new checks.
Editor output: Its parseable output lets users jump to an error location in an editor.
Lightweight: The project says it is a single Python file that requires only the standard library.
Test suite: The project says it comes with a comprehensive test suite.
Installation: The documentation gives pip install, upgrade, and uninstall commands for pycodestyle.
Configuration: Users can configure pycodestyle at user and project levels, including through setup.cfg or tox.ini.
Reporting: The CLI can show source and PEP 8 guidance, count errors, and format output as default, pylint, or custom.
Limitations: The checker does not enforce every PEP 8 rule and does not aim to be exhaustive.
Out of scope: Naming conventions, docstring conventions, and automatic fixing are outside the library’s scope; the documentation points to plugins or related tools for these needs.
Integration: Flake8 is described as a wrapper around pycodestyle and similar tools that supports plugins.
Compatibility: PyPI classifies the package as OS independent and lists CPython and PyPy implementations.
Security and trust: PyPI lists the 2.15.0 source distribution and wheel as not uploaded using Trusted Publishing.
