Add configuration file for PEP-8 checker tool
The PEP-8 checker tool (pep8.py) [1, 2] is used to check that Python
scripts follow the Style Guide for Python Code [3].
This change adds a configuration file for that tool. The configuration
overrides the defaults for the following settings:
To make it easier to see what's wrong, enable:
- Quote the lines on which violations are found
- Quote the relevant section of the PEP-8 guideline
The maximum line length according to PEP-8 is 80 characters, but for
some reason the checker defaults to 79, therefore:
- Set maximum line length to 80 characters
According to PEP-8, code should be indented at 4 characters, but the
Google Python Style Guide [4] says 2. Code in Gerrit follows the
Google style, so:
- Disable warnings "Indentation is not a multiple of four"
The configuration is invoked with the --config option when running
the check tool:
$ pep8.py --config ./contrib/.pep8rc myfile.py
