What problem does it solve?
format_python removes the friction of inconsistent or error-prone Python code generation by enforcing indentation, import discipline, naming conventions, type hints, logging practices, and linting-preventive rules that reduce common LLM mistakes.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Consistent formatting: Enforces 4-space indentation, double-quoted strings, import ordering, and line-length limits suitable for common style guides.
- Linter-safe code: Prevents frequent generation failures like unused imports/variables, undefined references, and problematic comparisons.
- Production-ready structure: Guides docstring placement, code organization, error handling, logging usage, security practices, and testability for maintainable Python modules.
Example use case: you are generating a Python utility script to transform JSON data and you need it to be readable, type-hinted, logging-based, and free of common flake8/ruff/pylint issues before committing it to a repo.
