autopep8-el

autopep8 emacs integration

A day working in Go will cause anyone to miss gofmt severely. autopep8 provides somewhat similar functionality for python programmers. The only part missing was integration into the greatest editor of all time.

Usage

Install autopep8 somewhere. There is a customization available to change the path to autopep8 and aggressiveness if need be:

M-x customize-group RET autopep8

Drop autopep8.el somewhere in your loadpath. Require it and bind autopep8 to anything you might find useful. I have it bound to C-c C-p:

(require 'autopep8)
(defun python-mode-keys ()
  "Modify python-mode local key map"
  (local-set-key (kbd "C-c C-p") 'autopep8))
(add-hook 'python-mode-hook 'python-mode-keys)

If you want to autopep8 on save, you'll need to use autopep8-before-save to guard against non-python major modes:

(add-hook 'before-save-hook #'autopep8-before-save)

Credit

This is an obvious, blatant copy-paste of go-mode.el's gofmt integration.
