ZenCheck 1.1

A wrapper for various code/markup syntax checking tools.

A simple application for syntax-checking python files. pyflakes is used for error-checking and pep8 is used for style checking (produces warnings).

Improvments Over Stock PyFlakes/pep8 With Flymake Mode

• pyflakes warnings are now shown as flymake warnings (not the case with standard flymake/pyflakes integration)

• integrates both pyflakes and pep8 in one command

Latest Working Versions

• Python 2.7.3

• pyflakes 0.5.0

• pep8 1.3.3

Note: As long as the api’s of neither pyflakes or pep8 changes, future versions should work.
