I'm fairly certain that:

A) pylint and pycodestyle (what I assume you are referring to when you
say pep8) don't check all of the same things and in fact have some
overlap but also each have things they check that the other doesn't

B) have conflicting advice (or used to) where they overlap

So, my understanding is that no, you can not use only one linter.
