format-def-indent 0.1.7

Make sure arguments in Python function definitions are indented by 8 spaces

py-def-indent-formatter

A command line tool (and a pre-commit hook) to automatically format haning indentation in Python function definitions to 8 spaces.

Currently, this tool is only designed to work properly after your Python files have been formatted by black or blue.

Motivation of this tool

black and blue both use only 4 spaces as haning indentation in function definitions, which is not aligned with PEP8's recommendation.

Therefore, this tool specifically fixes this 4-space style choice of black and blue.

Installation

pip install format-def-indent

Usage

As a command line tool

To auto-format Python files (.py):

format-def-indent <PATH_THAT_CONTAINS_PYTHON_FILES>

Use --help to see documentations of command line arguments.

To auto-format Jupyter notebooks (.ipynb):

format-def-indent-in-jupyter <PATH_THAT_CONTAINS_PYTHON_FILES>

As a pre-commit hook

To auto-format Python files (.py), put the following into your .pre-commit-config.yaml file. Remember to replace <VERSION> with your version of this tool (such as v0.1.4):

-   repo: https://github.com/cyyc1/py-def-indent-formatter
    rev: <VERSION>
    hooks:
    -   id: format-def-indent

To auto-format Jupyter notebooks (.ipynb), put the following into your .pre-commit-config.yaml file:

-   repo: https://github.com/cyyc1/py-def-indent-formatter
    rev: <VERSION>
    hooks:
    -   id: format-def-indent-in-jupyter

See pre-commit for more instructions.

What does this formatter do

This tool formats the following "before" (red) into "after" (green).

Multi-line arguments in function definitions:

def some_function(
-    arg1,
-    arg2='test',
-    *,
-    arg3: int = 2,
-    arg4: bool = False,
+        arg1,
+        arg2='test',
+        *,
+        arg3: int = 2,
+        arg4: bool = False,
) -> None:
    print(1)

or

def some_functions(
-    arg1,
-    *args,
-    **kwargs,
+        arg1,
+        *args,
+        **kwargs,
):
    print(1)

Single-line arguments in function definitions:

def some_function(
-    arg1, arg2='test', *, arg3: int = 2, arg4: bool = False,
+        arg1, arg2='test', *, arg3: int = 2, arg4: bool = False,
):
    print(1)
