Configure the Plugin

🚧

PEP8 vs pycodestyle

The PEP8 project has been renamed to pycodestyle. The Code Climate PEP8 engine has not been updated to incorporate that name change.

To make configuration specifications in your setup.cfg file or tox.ini file, the Code Climate PEP8 engine requires that you include those changes in:

• a [pep8] config section
• instead of [pycodestyle] config section.

You can configure pep8 using pep8 config files as described in the official pep8 documentation: http://pep8.readthedocs.org/en/latest/intro.html#configuration
