pycharm-ignore-pep8.md

When using the flake8 program, it reads settings from the "[flake8]" section of tox.ini. When using the pycodestyle program (FKA pep8), it reads settings from the "[pep8]" (some sources say "[pycodestyle]") section of tox.ini. They are both places where one can put a "ignore=" setting with a list of error codes to be ignored by the respective programs.

Since developers are already used to this convention, why doesn't the Python plugin for IntelliJ IDEA follow it, too? I'm working with projects that have listed codes to be ignored in tox.ini, but IntelliJ IDEA still flags the violations in my code. I need to ignore each type of violation, one by one. What's worse, IntelliJ IDEA doesn't include the code when it gives the violation messages. So I end up copying the list of codes from tox.ini to the PEP8 inspection configuration in project settings.

This is an annoying waste of time.
