Using pycodestyle
We saw earlier that pycodestyle can be run from the command line to check a file for PEP 8 compliance. Sometimes it's useful to run this kind of check from a Python script.
In this exercise, you'll use pycodestyle's StyleGuide class to check multiple files for PEP 8 compliance. Both files accomplish the same task, but they differ greatly in formatting and readability. You can view the contents of the files by following their links below.
