Using AutoPep8 in pydev

Question

I'm trying to use autopep8.py as the code formatter for pydev but I don't seem to be able to supply the parameters correctly as the output isn't as I would expect.

I need to be able to supply two parameters -a --max-line-length 100 but for some reason the formatter appears to be ignoring the line length option. Am I doing something wrong?

Works for me. Have you enabled auto-formatting of editor contents in "Save Actions"? — Leon, Sep 07 '16 at 10:27
Yes. It's enabled. I'm using Eclipse Neon (4.6.0). Not sure if that makes a difference — Richard B, Sep 07 '16 at 10:31
So does the formatter use the default value of 79 for line length? — Leon, Sep 07 '16 at 10:36
Do you modify the file before saving when testing the changed formatter settings? — Leon, Sep 07 '16 at 10:52

Well, I'm specifying the following settings and it works for me:

-a -a --max-line-length=100 --ignore=E309

So, I guess the problem in your case is missing the equals char after the --max-line-length.
