When a line of mine is unacceptable to the default syntax/quality checker used with elpy, it underlines the line in red.

How do I find out why the lne is underlined?

Normally you'd have to hover over the line with your mouse.

However that's very un-emacs-y so I'd suggest using flymake-cursor so that the message appears in the mini buffer instead.

  • For some reason, on Ubuntu Emacs24, when I hover over the line, nothing happens. Furthermore when I [download flymake-cursor.el](http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/download/flymake-cursor.el) and `eval-buffer` I get nothing when I navigate the cursor to be on top squiggly red lines it creates. – Terrence Brannon Oct 28 '13 at 18:03
  • make sure `flymake-cursor-mode` is enabled. I personnally don't use autoloads and use a `(require 'flymake-cursor)` in my configuration – m09 Oct 28 '13 at 18:53
