Verifying PEP8 in iPython notebook code

Question

Is there an easy way to check that iPython notebook code, while it\'s being written, is compliant with PEP8?

Answer 1

Install the pep8 extension for ipython notebook using the following command :

%install_ext https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SiggyF/notebooks/master/pep8_magic.py

Refer the official docs for more info.

After that use the %%pep8 Cell magic function to check your particular cell for pep8 styling.

Note that this has to be put inside every cell for which pep8 checking needs to be enforced.

Refer this example.
