PEP8 Checking in Vim

Install Dependencies
Let’s start by installing a dependency of the Vim plugin we are going to use. The Flake8 module will be needed for our vim-flake8 setup. As root (or using sudo), run the following commands:
easy_install pip
pip install flake8
The first command installs the latest version of pip, a tool for installing and managing Python packages. The second command uses pip to install the flake8 package. Now let’s configure vim.
