Distracting White Dots on Multiple Lines

#1

Hello, I just started having these white dots on Sublime Text 3. It’s very distracting for me. I am using OSX and I have tried checking out Key Bindings and used “super+K” to attempt disabling it. Nothing changed.

I also noticed this at the bottom left corner of ST3.
“[W] PEP 8 (ES01): line too long (81 > 79 characters), Comparing against : HEAD, Line 8, Column 81”
I don’t really follow this…

Thanks in advance

You have a Python Linter package installed and it’s telling you about things in your code that violate the PEP 8 Style Guide; this is not something that Sublime does by default.

One such rule is that no line of code should be longer than 79 characters, to ensure that everything is always visible, hence the warning that Line 8 in your file is too long.

If it just suddenly started doing that, you need to determine what package(s) you installed when you started noticing it, and then either configure them not to do that, remove them, or modify your code to be PEP8 compliant.

Thanks, OdatNurd!

I identified which package it was and it was Anaconda linter.

{“anaconda_linting”: false}

This just solved my problem.
