autopep8 is a Python tool that automatically formats Python code to conform to the PEP 8 style guide. It uses pycodestyle to detect formatting issues and can fix most of them, either in place or via diff output.

Use cases

  • format python code to pep 8
  • auto fix pycodestyle violations
  • clean up python code style automatically
  • reformat python files before committing
  • fix indentation and spacing in python code

When to choose

  • you want automated PEP 8 compliance for Python codebases
  • you need to fix pycodestyle-reported issues without manual editing
  • you want a lightweight formatter tightly aligned with pycodestyle rules

When to avoid

  • you prefer a faster, more opinionated formatter like Black or Ruff
  • you need formatting beyond PEP 8 style rules
  • you want a formatter that also enforces linting beyond style issues
