PEP8 and Pylint - Python code checkers. Thoughts?

I recently found the pylint compiler for vim; it checks the code for stylistic errors and possible bugs. (Compiler in vim doesn't necessarily means it compiles) From it I s///g-ed a pep8 compiler for vim. http://pastebin.com/f12d2ff96 (drop in ~/.vim/compiler)

Are you using these or similar tools? (I know of pychecker) What do you think of them?

I use Pyflakes but don't really find much need for such tools when working with python. I wasn't aware of the pep8 style checker and will be trying it out later. :)
