pylint integration?

[JMehring]

Hello,

I was wondering if there was any way to easily integrate pep8 into
pylint as an add-on checker?

I use pylint in my zope/plone buildout and my IDE (wing) integrates
nicely with pylint, so I thought it would be nice to have the PEP8
messages integrated (so I don't need to run both utilities).

pylint does not seem to handle PEP8? since I get perfect code with
pylint, but PEP8 shows E201, etc.

TIA,

Jason

I don't know how pylint works internally, but pep8 basically only needs
to be fed a python file, so in that sense it should be easily integratable.

I combined two tools (pep8 and pyflakes) myself by combining the output
with a script file.

A quick perl (...) command line regex replacement will add [] around
pep8's error message so that it conforms more or less to pylint's
format. At least for Hudson's pylint-expecting quality measurement to
pick up the errors:

pep8 somefile.py | perl -ple �s/: ([WE]\d+)/: [$1]/� > pep8.txt
