CutyKt

About

A Cuty-Series Custom Python Formatter

Installation

pip install cutykt

Usage

Format a file or directory:

cutykt path/to/file_or_directory

Check if files need formatting (useful for CI or pre-commit):

cutykt --check path/to/project

If formatting changes are required in check mode, formatter exits with a non-zero status code.

About

The tool is a minimal and fast Python formatter designed to enforce consistent formatting rules across Python codebases.

Unlike large formatters that heavily restructure code, CutyKt focuses on deterministic formatting rules applied through a small rule engine. Each rule handles a specific formatting concern such as indentation, spacing, blank lines, or import ordering.

The formatter processes files using modular formatting rules, making the system easier to reason about, extend, and control.

Features

• Deterministic Python formatting
• Rule-based formatting system
• Import sorting
• Consistent indentation enforcement
• Blank line normalization
• Trailing space cleanup
• Line ending normalization
• Automatic EOF newline insertion
• Optional check mode for CI pipelines

Design Philosophy

The formatter is built around a few core ideas:

• Minimal implementation
• Explicit formatting rules
• Predictable output
• Easy extensibility
• Suitable for automation (CI / pre-commit)

Rather than trying to cover every stylistic decision, the formatter focuses on enforcing a small set of reliable formatting guarantees.
