SublimeText encloses lines in white rectangles

Question

It\'s rather annoying and I can\'t seem to figure out why.

Answer 1

For Anaconda/Sublime Users

I have Anaconda and the lint function is useful, but out of the box, it is draconian about style. When you hover over the rectangle, it will tell you the number of the rule it is enforcing. You can disable the ones that you feel are unneeded or get in the way as you code.

On Macs:

1. Go to Preferences | Browse Packages | Anaconda | Anaconda.sublime-settings
2. Search for "pep8_ignore"
3. Add the rules you want to remove.

I've put in my list the following rules that remove some of the white space rules that slow me down but keeps the "no tabs" rule.

    "E201",
    "E202",
    "E203",
    "E302",
    "E309",
    "W291",
    "W293",
    "W391"

You'll want to set "translate_tabs_to_spaces": true in your user settings if you go with this list.

Alternatively you can set "pep8" to false to stop it entirely.
