What you are looking for appears to be the pycodestyle binary package
(apt install pycodestyle), built from the same source package as
python3-pycodestyle.

In Debian, command-line tools are often packaged in a binary package
that is separate from the library they use.

Bug#974120: pycodestyle: Please make pycodestyle executable

[Carlo Stemberger]

Package: python3-pycodestyle
Version: 2.6.0-1
Severity: wishlist
File: pycodestyle

Hi,
as you can see here[1] pycodestyle is intended to be use as a command
line tool. So I think:

0) line 1 (shebang) in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pycodestyle.py
should be fixed (python3 instead of python)

1) /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pycodestyle.py should be executable
(+x in permissions)

2) a symlink should be added in a $PATH directory


Best regards,
Carlo
