Sort the order of class functions and properties

seating

Sort the order of class functions, properties, and member variables.

Installation

Install with:

pip install seating

Sorting and Priority

• Class variables declared in class body outside of a function
• Dunder methods
• Functions decorated with property or corresponding .setter and .deleter methods
• Class functions

Each of these groups will be sorted alphabetically with respect to themselves.

The only exception is for dunder methods.
They will be sorted alphabetically except that __init__ will be first.

If you have class contents that are grouped a certain way and you want the groups individually sorted so that the grouping is maintained, you can use # Seat to demarcate the groups.

i.e. if the source is:

class MyClass():
    {arbitrary lines of code}
    # Seat
    {more arbitrary code}
    # Seat
    {yet more code}

then the three sets of code in brackets will be sorted independently from one another.

Usage

>seat -h

  file                  The file to format.
