    help: code formatter?

    Hi all,

    as a newbie I have problems with formatting code of downloaded programs,
    because IDLE's reformatting capabilities are limited . Incorrect
    indentation, mixing of TAB with BLANKs or eol are often very nasty to
    correct.
    Is there a simple code formatter that first removes all indentations and
    then refomats correctly?

    Please help!

    Thank you,

    siggi

      Why don't you just write one? :)

      Seriously: Try.

      BTW: Guessing to what amount of space TABs must be converted in
      mixed source can be non-trivial.

          Tools\scripts\r eindent.py in your Python distribution.

                                      It isn't funny at all. You'll learn by doing and trying things.
                                      That's how all programmers start.
