sortpythonmethods 16

Sort methods, imports and classes in a python source file

Rearrange methods alphabetically in a Python source file. - Python3

sortorder

1. docstring

2. future imports

3. imports first on alphabet then on length (apo, alpha-pipe-organ)

4. from, modules on apo, imports on alpa

5. classes sorted on baseclassname then on classname alpha (internals of class unchanged)

6. methods sorted on methodname alpha

pep8

Can be combined with cp-pep8 for consistent readable code

sortpythonmethods -f myfile.py -w
python2 ~/cp.py -f myfile.py

example

class Alpha1(object):
    pass


def helloworld():
    pass

class ZZ(object):
    pass


class Alpha2(ZZ):
    pass

Run command

sortpythonmethods -f myfile.py
