VSCode PEP 8 Formatting

I had the same problem.
If you read the documentation you will notice that the setting is not called pep8 but resides under the pydocstyle superset.
Thus, you have to use the following setting to enable checks on the variable conventions (and other stuff) from pep8:
"python.linting.pycodestyleEnabled": true,
Install pep8 and pylint using pip:
Copypip install pep8
pip install pylint
Then get your settings.json file, and add the line:
Copy"python.linting.pep8Enabled": true
Hey try installing autopep8 in your env. Then activate the same env as interpreter in your VScode. Select your code with ctrl+a and then do right click mouse you will get the formatting option. Also make sure that you have python and intelisense extension installed from the extension market place of VScode.
Additional suggestion, Try pylint with Prettier extension in VSCode, will do decent formatting job, while saving python code changes. It was effective for me.
PEP8 was renamed to pycodestyle. In the Python VS Code Extension (by Microsoft) it is already renamed in the command palette and in the settings.json file. However the documentation for them are not up-to-date yet and they can be confusing.
The problem with pep8 is because vscode now is using flake8, is basically the same, pep8 was renamed to pycodestyle, flake8 use pycodestyle, this is the old config:
"python.linting.pep8Enabled": true, // Don't use it
But now you can't find that config in vscode, the new config line now is:
"python.linting.flake8Enabled": true, // This is the new config for pep8
If the second option didn't work, you can try this:
"python.linting.pycodestyleEnabled": true // You need: pip install pycodestyle
I hope this answer is helpful for you
Hello everyone!
I'm interested in formatting my code so that it matches PEP 8 guidelines. I've read through PEP 8, but as you can imagine, referencing the documentation and checking my code for format is pretty time consuming.
I know that it is possible to install extensions that do this automatically in VSCode, but in order to learn best practices, I actually want to make the code changes myself.
I did some searching through the VSCode docs, but I wasn't able to find quite what I was looking for. Here's what I want:
-
A formatter which runs every time the file is saved
-
I do not want it to make any changes automatically
-
I want all the non-compliant code to be listed somewhere like the "Problems" tab in the terminal window.
-
If it adds non-intrusive squiggles in my code that's a plus (especially if I can toggle to hide it)
-
Ideally verbose enough that I know what the issue is
-
If there is links to the relevant PEP 8 guideline in the output that would be great as well.
Does anything like this exist? I'm sure the popular tools already do what I'm looking for, but I wasn't able to figure out how to configure it to the way I want. Surprisingly, there's a lot more people are looking to make the formatting less manual, not more. :)
Thank you all!
On Pycharm, it shows me when a line is too long and violates pep8 standards. How do I show that in VS code?
Are there any plugins that help enforce pep8?
Is there an extension I can download that will fix all the pep8 errors I have with the click of a button?
I saw something like that in a video I watched but I'm unable to find the video.
