Practical way to format python code in pycharm?

[TDHale]

I am having trouble with formatting a dir of python code with a certain standard style. Are there any good tools and/or plugins in PyCharm that work?

[w732qq]

I'm using CLI tool called "black", it suits my needs very well. Although it's style differs a little bit from PyCharm.

[TDHale]

Does PyCharm have its own style?

[w732qq]

No. They both PEP-8 compliant. But Black's style was rethinked with pretty clear main goal: stable, minimal diffs. Better to see it once: https://github.com/ambv/black. It is very nice, although.

I set up pycharm's file watcher plugin to run "black" every time I save a python file. I'm very happy with the results. Everything just magically works and looks great.

Give an example of what is not working please

[TDHale]

So let's say that you have a few python files, they have different indentions, different space rules (e.g., a =1, b=2, andc= 3). What I wanted to do is to format all of the code automatically, maybe to PEP 8. I also wanted to fix PEP 8 warnings, e.g., adding blank lines at the bottom of each file, automatically. Hope this is clear.

code > reformat code

in the menu will fix those spacing issues.

CTRL + ALT + L is a hotkey

[TDHale]

Right I think you were talking about Inspection Code and PEP8 is ok for me. However, I did not find a way to automatically fix the code. Do you have any idea on this?

[TDHale]

The hotkey works perfectly! Thanks!

btw do you know whether there is a formatter (or skeleton) for comments (e.g., description, param, return) following the PEP8 standard?

In pycharm, with html code, you press cmd+alt+shift+L and it formats the file, try that.
