autopep8 automatically formats Python code to conform to the PEP 8_ style guide. It uses the pycodestyle_ 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 pycodestyle.

.. _PEP 8: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/ .. _issues: https://pycodestyle.readthedocs.org/en/latest/intro.html#error-codes

Installation

From pip::

$ pip install --upgrade autopep8

Consider using the --user option_.

.. _option: https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/user_guide/#user-installs

Requirements

autopep8 requires pycodestyle_.

.. _pycodestyle: https://github.com/PyCQA/pycodestyle

Usage

To modify a file in place (with aggressive level 2)::

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

Before running autopep8.

.. code-block:: python

import math, sys;

def example1():
    ####This is a long comment. This should be wrapped to fit within 72 characters.
    some_tuple=(   1,2, 3,'a'  );
    some_variable={'long':'Long code lines should be wrapped within 79 characters.',
    'other':[math.pi, 100,200,300,9876543210,'This is a long string that goes on'],
    'more':{'inner':'This whole logical line should be wrapped.',some_tuple:[1,
    20,300,40000,500000000,60000000000000000]}}
    return (some_tuple, some_variable)
def example2(): return {'has_key() is deprecated':True}.has_key({'f':2}.has_key(''));
class Example3(   object ):
    def __init__    ( self, bar ):
     #Comments should have a space after the hash.
     if bar : bar+=1;  bar=bar* bar   ; return bar
     else:
                    some_string = """
		           Indentation in multiline strings should not be touched.
Only actual code should be reindented.
"""
                    return (sys.path, some_string)

After running autopep8.

    return (some_tuple, some_variable)


def example2(): return ('' in {'f': 2}) in {'has_key() is deprecated': True}


class Example3(object):
    def __init__(self, bar):
        # Comments should have a space after the hash.
        if bar:
            bar += 1
            bar = bar * bar
            return bar

Options::

usage: autopep8 [-h] [--version] [-v] [-d] [-i] [--global-config filename]
                [--ignore-local-config] [-r] [-j n] [-p n] [-a]
                [--experimental] [--exclude globs] [--list-fixes]

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

positional arguments:
  files                 files to format or '-' for standard in

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --version             show program's version number and exit
  -v, --verbose         print verbose messages; multiple -v result in more
                        verbose messages
  -d, --diff            print the diff for the fixed source
  -i, --in-place        make changes to files in place
  --global-config filename
                        path to a global pep8 config file; if this file does
                        not exist then this is ignored (default:
                        ~/.config/pep8)
  --ignore-local-config
                        don't look for and apply local config files; if not
                        passed, defaults are updated with any config files in
                        the project's root directory
  -r, --recursive       run recursively over directories; 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
  --experimental        enable experimental fixes
  --exclude globs       exclude file/directory names that match these comma-
                        separated globs
  --list-fixes          list codes for fixes; used by --ignore and --select
  --ignore errors       do not fix these errors/warnings (default:
                        E226,E24,W50,W690)
  --select errors       fix only these errors/warnings (e.g. E4,W)
  --max-line-length n   set maximum allowed line length (default: 79)
  --line-range line line, --range line line
                        only fix errors found within this inclusive range of
                        line numbers (e.g. 1 99); line numbers are indexed at
                        1
  --hang-closing        hang-closing option passed to pycodestyle
  --exit-code           change to behavior of exit code. default behavior of
                        return value, 0 is no differences, 1 is error exit.
                        return 2 when add this option. 2 is exists
                        differences.
