>From what I've seen it seems like it should. I suppose one of our test
cases could be to run pychecker if it is available. But I think whatever
we do it needs to be in the test suite, since we are used to running
that, and not trying to remember to run another command.

Also, I was thinking about writing a test that checks for pep8
conformance. If pychecker would do that already, it would be very nice.
As much as I try to get my whitespace correct, I always seem to miss one
or two, and having something automated check up after me is a lot more
efficient than making Robert do it.

Is there an easy way to check PEP8? I was thinking of just writing a
state machine which would match class and def, and look for docstrings
(one line has """foo""", and multiline has """foo\n\nstuff\n"""). But it
seems like quite a bit of code...
