==========

Installation
------------
Use [vim-pathogen](https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen) if you're not using
it already.  Then, simply put the contents of this repository in your
`~/.vim/bundle` directory.

Usage
-----
1. Open a Python file
2. Press `<F7>` to run `flake8` on it

It shows the errors inside a quickfix window, which will allow your to quickly
jump to the error locations by simply pressing [Enter].


Customization
-------------
If you don't want to use the `<F7>` key for flake8-checking, simply remap it to
another key.  It autodetects whether it has been remapped and won't register
the `<F7>` key if so.  For example, to remap it to `<F3>` instead, use:

    autocmd FileType python map <buffer> <F3> :call Flake8()<CR>


Tips
----
A tip might be to run the Flake8 check every time you write a Python file, to
enable this, add the following line to your `.vimrc` file (thanks
[Godefroid](http://github.com/gotcha)!):

    autocmd BufWritePost *.py call Flake8()


This plugin goes well together with the following plugin:

- [PyUnit](http://github.com/nvie/vim-pyunit) (unit test helper under `<F8>`
  and `<F9>`)
