I think the tool's name is unfortunate. The first time I heard about it I was having an in-person discussion with a developer who (I thought) said that "PEP 8" was okay with his code (which I knew couldn't be the case) but in fact he meant to say that (some configuration of) "pep8" didn't mind it. This took some time to sort out and it would have avoided if the tool had had a better name.
That said I think it's a great tool.
