PEP8 is a style guide for python code that has by many become a coding standard for OpenERP code.[1] There are different addons to a lot of development tools that does a PEP8 test of the code. However if your development tool doesn't support PEP8 compability tests, you can download the pep8 python module and run manual tests on any system.[2]

One of the main reasons for following PEP8 is to make the code easier to read and easier to understand.
