autopep8 0.9.4

About

autopep8 automatically formats Python code to conform to the PEP 8 style guide. It uses the pep8 utility to determine what parts of the code needs to be formatted. autopep8 is capable of fixing most of the formatting issues that can be reported by pep8.

Installation

From pip:

$ pip install --upgrade autopep8

Requirements

autopep8 requires pep8.

Usage

To modify a file in place (with all fixes enabled):

$ autopep8 --in-place --aggressive <filename>

Before running autopep8.

import sys, os;

def someone_likes_semicolons(                             foo  = None            ,\
bar='bar'):


    """Hello; bye.""";
    print('A'<>foo<>134342<>23434<>3!=3<>5!=3)# <> is a deprecated form of !=
    return 0;
def func11():
    a=(   1,2, 3,"a"  );
    ####This is a long comment. This should be wrapped to fit within 72 characters.
    some_variable = [100,200,300,9876543210,'This is a long string that goes on']
def func22(): return {'has_key() is deprecated':True}.has_key({'f':2}.has_key(''));
class UselessClass(   object ):
    def __init__    ( self, bar ):
     #Comments should have a space after the hash.
     if bar : bar+=1;  bar=bar* bar   ; return bar
     else:
                    indentation_in_strings_should_not_be_touched = """
                       hello
world

                    raise ValueError, indentation_in_strings_should_not_be_touched
    def my_method(self):
                                              print(self);

Options:

Usage: autopep8 [options] [filename [filename ...]]
Use filename '-'  for stdin.

Automatically formats Python code to conform to the PEP 8 style guide.

  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

                        verbose messages
  -d, --diff            print the diff for the fixed source
  -i, --in-place        make changes to files in place
  -r, --recursive       run recursively; must be used with --in-place or
                        --diff
  -j n, --jobs=n        number of parallel jobs; match CPU count if value is
                        less than 1
  -p n, --pep8-passes=n
                        maximum number of additional pep8 passes (default:
                        infinite)
  -a, --aggressive      enable non-whitespace changes; multiple -a result in
                        more aggressive changes

E502 - Remove extraneous escape of newline.
E701 - Put colon-separated compound statement on separate lines.
E70  - Put semicolon-separated compound statement on separate lines.
E711 - Fix comparison with None.
E712 - Fix comparison with boolean.
W191 - Reindent all lines.
W291 - Remove trailing whitespace.
W293 - Remove trailing whitespace on blank line.
W391 - Remove trailing blank lines.
E26  - Format block comments.
W6   - Fix various deprecated code (via lib2to3).
W602 - Fix deprecated form of raising exception.

autopep8 also fixes some issues not found by pep8.

• Correct deprecated or non-idiomatic Python code (via lib2to3). (This is triggered if W6 is enabled.)

• Format block comments. (This is triggered if E26 is enabled.)

• Normalize files with mixed line endings.

• Put a blank line between a class declaration and its first method declaration. (Enabled with E301.)

• Remove blank lines between a function declaration and its docstring. (Enabled with E303.)

More advanced usage

By default autopep8 only makes whitespace changes. Thus, by default, it does not fix E711 and E712. (Changing x == None to x is None may change the meaning of the program if x has its __eq__ method overridden.) Nor does it correct deprecated code W6. To enable these more aggressive fixes, use the --aggressive option:

$ autopep8 --aggressive <filename>

--aggressive will also shorten lines more aggressively. It will also remove trailing whitespace more aggressively. (Usually, we don’t touch trailing whitespace in docstrings and other multiline strings. And to do even more aggressive changes to docstrings, use docformatter.)

To enable only a subset of the fixes, use the --select option. For example, to fix various types of indentation issues:

$ autopep8 --select=E1,W1 <filename>

Similarly, to just fix deprecated code:

$ autopep8 --aggressive --select=W6 <filename>

The above is useful when trying to port a single code base to work with both Python 2 and Python 3 at the same time.

If the file being fixed is large, you may want to enable verbose progress messages:

$ autopep8 -v <filename>

Use as a module

The simplest way of using autopep8 as a module is via the fix_string() function.

>>> import autopep8
>>> autopep8.fix_string('x=       123\n')
'x = 123\n'

Testing

Test cases are in test/test_autopep8.py. They can be run directly via python test/test_autopep8.py or via tox. The latter is useful for testing against multiple Python interpreters. (We currently test against CPython versions 2.6, 2.7, 3.2, and 3.3. We also test against PyPy.)

Broad spectrum testing is available via test/acid.py. This script runs autopep8 against Python code and checks for correctness and completeness of the code fixes. It can check that the bytecode remains identical. test/acid_pypi.py makes use of acid.py to test against the latest released packages on PyPI. In a similar fashion, test/acid_github.py tests against Python code in Github repositories.
