   pep8

   pyflakes

      passive checker of Python programs

      A simple program which checks Python source files for errors.

      Pyflakes analyzes programs and detects various errors. It works
      by parsing the source file, not importing it, so it is safe to
      use on modules with side effects. It's also much faster.
