Pycodestyle

Formerly known as the pep8 code style checker, Pycodestyle validates your code against many of the style conventions in PEP 8. It ensures your Python code adheres to PEP 8 standards.

An alternative to Pycodestyle is black, which also formats your code according to PEP 8 but offers less customization than Pycodestyle.

Installing Pycodestyle

You can install Pycodestyle using pip:

pip install pycodestyle
# or
conda install pycodestyle

Checking Code Style

You can check your code style by running the following command:

pycodestyle your_file.py
