A step forward might be the ‘reindent.py’ program included with the Python distribution. Many PEP 8 violations can't be automatically fixed, they require the programmer to make a decision and edit the code. So first, introduce a code scanner that reports PEP 8 violations, such as ‘pylint’. -- \ “[R]ightful liberty is unobstructed action, according to our | `\ will, within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of | _o__) others.” —Thomas Jefferson, 1819 | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
