PyFlakes Script for BBEdit 10
#!/usr/bin/env python2.6
"""
A quick script to install into your `Application Support/BBEdit/Scripts` folder.
This runs PyFlakes (requires PyFlakes to be installed at `/usr/local/bin` -
try ``/usr/bin/easy_install-2.6 pyflakes==0.4.0``) and reformats the results
so that they show up in BBEdit's search results / error / warnings window. Then
the errors can be stepped through one at a time.
I've bound this to control-shift-V. You must save your Python file first before
running the check.

This should also work with the 'flake8' script. Just change the path to 'pyflakes' to point to a 'flake8' script to get PEP 8 and PyFlakes checking in one.

Did you intend to license this in any way? I combined some of this code with another, similar gist (neither does quite what I want out of the box), and made some modifications on top of that, and I can't see any way to legally distribute the result, as it stands.

Updated for python3 / BBedit 12:
https://gist.github.com/WallGeckoPoint/f4d20d91400c35b230b38e7d3df333d2

I couldn't figure out what the caret line

print('^', file=sys.stderr)

was supposed to do, so I removed it.
