def-form 0.1.0

Formatter for functions

def-form

Python function definition formatter

Overview

def-form is a code formatting tool that focuses specifically on Python function definitions. It helps maintain consistent formatting of function signatures by automatically organizing arguments vertically when they exceed specified thresholds.

Features

• Automatic argument formatting: Converts inline function arguments to vertical format based on configurable rules
• CI/CD integration: Provides both format and check commands for use in development pipelines
• Configuration file support: Uses pyproject.toml for project-specific settings
• Customizable thresholds: Control when arguments should be formatted vertically

Installation

pip install def-form

Usage

Format code

• Format all Python files in a directory:

def-form format src/

• Format a specific file:

def-form format my_module.py

Check code without formatting

• Check if code follows formatting rules:

def-form check src/
