gray

Less uncompromising Python code formatter.

Gray stands on the shoulders of giants:

• isort - imports sorting and more
• pyupgrade - automatically upgrades syntax for newer versions of Python
• autoflake - remove unused imports and variables
• add-trailing-comma
• trim - remove trailing whitespaces
• unify - unify quotes style
• fixit - various code formatters on LibCST
• black - optional - the uncompromising Python code formatter

Usage

usage:
            gray myapp.py
            gray myproj/ tests/
            gray --log-level debug --formatters isort,unify ~/app


Less uncompromising Python code formatter.

positional arguments:
  paths                 Paths to format (default: (PosixPath('.'),))

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --exclude EXCLUDE     A regular expression matching files and directories that should be
                        excluded from formatting. Passing an explicit empty value means not paths
                        get excluded. Use '/' as directory separator, including on Windows.
                        [default: (.*/)?(\.direnv|\.eggs|\.git|\.hg|\.mypy_cache|\.nox|\.tox|\.ven

Args that start with '--' (eg. --exclude) can also be set in a config file (/Users/stephane/.gray
or /etc/gray.conf or ./gray.conf). Config file syntax allows: key=value, flag=true, stuff=[a,b,c]
(for details, see syntax at https://goo.gl/R74nmi). If an arg is specified in more than one place,
then commandline values override config file values which override defaults.

Git Hook

You can setup gray formatting before each commit with pre-commit git hook. Add following file to .git/hooks/pre-commit and make it executable with chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-commit.

#!/usr/bin/env python
from gray.hooks import git_pre_commit

exit(git_pre_commit(stop_on_modify=True))

If stop_on_modify argument is True, hook will prevent commit if there are any unstaged changes in files you about to commit.

Otherwise, any unstaged changes in this files will be added to the index by the hook.

Config file

Gray is looking for config file in ./gray.conf, /etc/gray.conf or ~/.gray.

Example of grayconf:

formatters = add-trailing-comma,isort,unify
min-python-version = 3.5

Features

• TODO

Git pre-commit hook

Use pre-commit. Once you have it installed, add this to the .pre-commit-config.yaml in your repository:

repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/dizballanze/gray
    rev: master # Replace by any tag/branch: https://github.com/dizballanze/gray/tags
    hooks:
      - id: gray

and run pre-commit install.

Using with Sourcetree

Sourcetree may run without gray being available via PATH.

MacOS

Make sure gray is available via PATH and run open /Applications/Sourcetree.app. Or better create an Automator workflow with source ~/.bash_profile && open /Applications/Sourcetree.app script.
