The autopep8 Package

The autopep8 package "automatically formats Python code to conform to the PEP 8 style guide."

Take these PEP-8 style suggestions with a grain of salt - don't feel obligated to adopt suggestions you don't like.

Installation

pip install autopep8

Usage

First, ensure your code has been committed, because the --in-place flag will actually modify your files.

Then conduct a style check for a given file:

autopep8 --in-place path/to/my_script.py

FYI: the --aggressive flag enforces a stricter set of style rules, and the --recursive flag says to check all files in all subdirectories. So here is an alternative command to check all files aggressively:

autopep8 --in-place --aggressive --recursive .
