pep8 ignores config files in project

See original GitHub issue

The pep8 testing ignores configuration given in config files (.pep8, tox.ini or setup.cfg) in the project (or workspace) folder, when it should read those files.

Having a .pep8file in the user home works, though, but global options are not always appropriate. Interestingly, pylintrcfiles for configuring the static code analysis are picked up correctly.

Windows 8, Spyder 2.3.4, pep8 1.6.2., pylint 1.4.2

I’m interested in looking into this at some point soon. Could one of the main devs give a pointer to where and how pep8/pycodestyle is called in the project? I can do the sleuthing myself if necessary though.

Pycodestyle automaticaly detects config file, the problem is that spyder creates a temporary file and call pycodestyle against that file

I think the best solution is to use the API (as @bilderbuchi suggested) http://pep8.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html Change check_with_pep8 function to use that API instead of saving a temp file,and calling the executable.

EDIT: Does there happen to be any sort of software architecture documentation for Spyder?
