Pycodestyle

------------------

* Test suite reorganized and enhanced in order to check more failures
with fewer test files. Read the ``run_tests`` docstring for details
about the syntax.

* Fix E225: accept ``print >>sys.stderr, "..."`` syntax.

* Fix E501 for lines containing multibyte encoded characters. (Issue 7)

* Fix E221, E222, E223, E224 not detected in some cases. (Issue 16)

* Fix E211 to reject ``v = dic['a'] ['b']``. (Issue 17)

* Exit code is always 1 if any error or warning is found. (Issue 10)

* ``--ignore`` checks are now really ignored, especially in
conjunction with ``--count``. (Issue 8)

* Blank lines with spaces yield W293 instead of W291: some developers
want to ignore this warning and indent the blank lines to paste their
code easily in the Python interpreter.

* Fix E301: do not require a blank line before an indented block. (Issue 14)

* Fix E203 to accept NumPy slice notation ``a[0, :]``. (Issue 13)

* Performance improvements.

* Fix decoding and checking non-UTF8 files in Python 3.

* Fix E225: reject ``True+False`` when running on Python 3.

* Fix an exception when the line starts with an operator.

* Allow a new line before closing ``)``, ``}`` or ``]``. (Issue 5)

------------------

* Changed the ``--count`` switch to print to sys.stderr and set
exit code to 1 if any error or warning is found.

* E241 and E242 are removed from the standard checks. If you want to
include these checks, use switch ``--select=E,W``. (Issue 4)

* Blank line is not mandatory before the first class method or nested
function definition, even if there's a docstring. (Issue 1)

* Add the switch ``--version``.

* Fix decoding errors with Python 3. (Issue 13 [1]_)

* Add ``--select`` option which is mirror of ``--ignore``.

* Add checks E261 and E262 for spaces before inline comments.

* New check W604 warns about deprecated usage of backticks.

* New check W603 warns about the deprecated operator ``<>``.

* Performance improvement, due to rewriting of E225.

* E225 now accepts:

- no whitespace after unary operator or similar. (Issue 9 [1]_)

- lambda function with argument unpacking or keyword defaults.

* Reserve "2 blank lines" for module-level logical blocks. (E303)

* Allow multi-line comments. (E302, issue 10 [1]_)

------------------

* Decorators on classes and class methods are OK now.

----------------

* Support for all versions of Python from 2.3 to 3.1.

* New and greatly expanded self tests.

* Added ``--count`` option to print the total number of errors and warnings.

* Further improvements to the handling of comments and blank lines.
(Issue 1 [1]_ and others changes.)

* Check all py files in directory when passed a directory (Issue
2 [1]_). This also prevents an exception when traversing directories
with non ``*.py`` files.

* E231 should allow commas to be followed by ``)``. (Issue 3 [1]_)

* Spaces are no longer required around the equals sign for keyword
arguments or default parameter values.

* Fixes for comments: do not count them when checking for blank lines between
items.

* Added setup.py for pypi upload and easy_installability.

----------------

* Loads of fixes and improvements.
