Correct, all we are talking about is the default command Geany runs for python linting. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Ah, I see: Geany doesn't install pep8 or pycodestyle, but rather uses what is already on the system. Thank you! -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread. Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/1776#issuecomment-375196229
Re: [Github-comments] [geany/geany] Renamed pep8 to pycodestyle (#1776)
Just to add, current LTS systems do not have pycodestyle in their distros, but new LTS releases are due soon (eg Ubuntu next month) and hopefully they will be updated. Thats why another 6-12 months is needed. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Because not everybody will have updated immediately something is changed, so a reasonable time should be allowed before changing the default, especially as I understand it, the old name still works in many cases. In the meantime its very simple to change yourself. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Thanks, read it, but didn't quite get the reason for waiting and keeping the outdated version. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread. Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/1776#issuecomment-375187065

Re: [Github-comments] [geany/geany] Renamed pep8 to pycodestyle (#1776)
The `pep8` tool was renamed to `pycodestyle`, and development continues as `pycodestyle`. So running `pep8` is essentially the same as running an old version of `pycodestyle`, but of course without new features and bug fixes. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Re: [Github-comments] [geany/geany] Renamed pep8 to pycodestyle (#1776)
I agree with @ban that waiting some time before applying the change might help users with not so recent systems. Maybe wait six to twelve months or something like this? The good thing is the change is very simple and can be done by "affected" users on their own until the default is being updated. Btw, I just updated https://wiki.geany.org/howtos/check_python_code. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Re: [Github-comments] [geany/geany] Renamed pep8 to pycodestyle (#1776)
Hum, why not, although people having a system predating this change (which is exactly 2 years old apparently) will suffer from this, while more recent systems are likely to provide compatibility for a while, given how widespread use of the `pep8` tool is. For example, my Debian system has a link from `pep8` to `pycodestyle` which makes this a non-issue there ATM. So… I don't feel strongly either way, but it probably makes sense to merge this *at some point*, but I don't know if now's the time? -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
