source beautifier

[Marco Mariani]

Is there a program (free, payware, whatever) like polystyle for
linux/python?

I've never used it, but the example is quite clear.
I just need it for python -- but it should not force me to use PEP8.

I tend to believe that running these tools on some average Python code would
not even change whitespace. ;)

IMHO, a tool that automatically corrects code to comply with PEP-8 would
actually be more helpful, but I guess that's pretty far reached.

I bet it's idempotent against _your_ code, but not in the context of
python beginners or people who just made up their mind about what coding
style to use.
