Flake8 (http://flake8.pycqa.org/) is another popular tool you can use to verify that your code is correctly formatted. Programming text editors and IDEs that support development generally offer a way to run flake8 as you type, highlighting portions of code that do not match with the flake8 rules.

To install flake8, run the following command:

$ pip install flake8

Here's a flake8 configuration file that was used for the Odoo Community Association development:

[flake8]
# E123,E133,E226,E241,E242 are ignored by default by pep8 and flake8
# F811 is legal in odoo 8 when we implement 2 interfaces for a method
# F999 pylint support this case with expected tests
ignore = E123,E133,E226,E241,E242,F811,F601
max-line-length = 79
exclude = __unported__,__init__.py

Save this in a file called .flake8 at the root of your project, and you should then be able to run the following:

$ flake8 <path_to_file_or_directory>

Better yet, set up your editor to check your code as you type!
