Just a thought... since pep8 is supposed to be *the* standard for python coding, and IDLE is the default 'IDE' included for beginning use... would it not make a certain amount of sense to integrate pep8 into IDLE so as to encourage new users to code to the standard...
If you mean 'enforce' pep8, that is out of the question. If you mean 'run a style checker' (as a new option of the run submene*) , I suspect there may already be an idle extension for that. If and when we get idle somewhat properly documented, that would include doc of the extension mechanism and perhaps suggestions of some good ones. Or we might include more that we do now.
* I had to look on the help page to fine that 'check module' means 'check syntax'. Anyone disagree that the latter is clearer?
