option to set pep8 and pylint paths, and/or use a virtualenv

[Mark Mikofski]

This is a hodge-podge of ideas, my apologies for lumping them together.

1. Has anyone considered adding options to the code-analysis and Pylint pages to let the user select the path to the pep8 and pylint modules the user wants to use, e.g. if they are in a virtualenv or some alternate folder, in the situation where a user has more than one version of pep8 or pylint installed.

2. Include a local version of pep8 and pylint inside spyderlib.

3. let user select the virtualenv they want to use, similar to PyDev.

What's a virtualenv?  I haven't used PyDev.. That's a plugin for eclipse, right?

[Carlos Córdoba]

A virtualenv Python app used to create isolated Python installations where you can install/update new packages or different versions from the ones found on your system Python.

I think it's mostly used on Linux and Mac, because it's much easier to use with a bash extension called virtualenvwrapper.

Cheers,
Carlos

Seems to much specialized for us, but you're welcome to send us a patch :-)

I think there is a local version of pep8 and pyflakes, but they are used
only if you run Spyder from source

You can select the Python interpreter you want to use under Tools >
Preferences > Console > Advanced Settings > Python Executable. It could
be made a bit easier (giving the user a list of venvs to select) but
that's all we got for now :-)

Cheers,
Carlos
