YAPF is a Python code formatter from Google, inspired by clang-format, that reformats code to conform to a configurable style guide. It can be used as a command-line tool or as a library, and integrates with editors via community plugins.

Use cases

  • format python code automatically
  • enforce a consistent code style across a python project
  • reformat python files in place or show a diff
  • run a formatter in pre-commit hooks
  • format only a range of lines in a python file

When to choose

  • you want highly configurable formatting that aims to match what a careful programmer would write
  • you prefer clang-format-style formatting for Python
  • you need a formatter usable both as a CLI and a library

When to avoid

  • you want the de facto community standard with minimal configuration (Black)
  • you need a formatter for languages other than Python
