Hello there, Spyder already has *autopep8*, *yapf* and *black* integrated. You can choose which one Spyder should use when formatting in the preferences. Go to *Preferences* > *Completion and linting* > *Code style and formatting* > *Code formatting*. The formatting of *yapf* is what you are looking for. I actually wasn't able to get the yapf integration running but Spyder says that it should be working. If it doesn't work you can also use yapf from the command line.

My console within Spyder doesn't wrap after each element. It actually doesn't insert line endings at all. Kind regards yfprojects [email protected] schrieb am Donnerstag, 8.
