PyPI Version Build Status Actions Status Coverage Status

## Introduction YAPF is a Python formatter based off of [`clang-format`](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormat.html) (developed by Daniel Jasper). In essence, the algorithm takes the code and calculates the best formatting that conforms to the configured style. It takes away a lot of the drudgery of maintaining your code. The ultimate goal is that the code YAPF produces is as good as the code that a programmer would write if they were following the style guide. > **Note** > YAPF is not an official Google product (experimental or otherwise), it is > just code that happens to be owned by Google. ## Installation To install YAPF from PyPI: ```bash $ pip install yapf ``` YAPF is still considered in "beta" stage, and the released version may change often; therefore, the best way to keep up-to-date with the latest development is to clone this repository. Note that if you intend to use YAPF as a command-line tool rather than as a library, installation is not necessary. YAPF supports being run as a directory by the Python interpreter. If you cloned/unzipped YAPF into `DIR`, it's possible to run: ```bash $ PYTHONPATH=DIR python DIR/yapf [options] ... ``` ## Required Python versions YAPF supports Python 3.7+. > **Note** > YAPF requires the code it formats to be valid Python for the version YAPF > itself runs under. ## Usage ```console usage: yapf [-h] [-v] [-d | -i | -q] [-r | -l START-END] [-e PATTERN] [--style STYLE] [--style-help] [--no-local-style] [-p] [-m] [-vv] [files ...] Formatter for Python code. positional arguments: files reads from stdin when no files are specified. optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit -v, --version show program's version number and exit -d, --diff print the diff for the fixed source -i, --in-place make changes to files in place -q, --quiet output nothing and set return value -r, --recursive run recursively over directories -l START-END, --lines START-END range of lines to reformat, one-based -e PATTERN, --exclude PATTERN patterns for files to exclude from formatting --style STYLE specify formatting style: either a style name (for example "pep8" or "google"), or the name of a file with style settings. The default is pep8 unless a .style.yapf or setup.cfg or pyproject.toml file located in the same directory as the source or one of its parent directories (for stdin, the current directory is used). --style-help show style settings and exit; this output can be saved to .style.yapf to make your settings permanent --no-local-style don't search for local style definition -p, --parallel run YAPF in parallel when formatting multiple files. -m, --print-modified print out file names of modified files -vv, --verbose print out file names while processing ``` ### Using YAPF within your favorite editor YAPF is supported by multiple editors via community extensions or plugins. See [Editor Support](EDITOR%20SUPPORT.md) for more info. ### Return Codes Normally YAPF returns zero on successful program termination and non-zero otherwise. If `--diff` is supplied, YAPF returns zero when no changes were necessary, non-zero otherwise (including program error). You can use this in a CI workflow to test that code has been YAPF-formatted. ### Excluding files from formatting (.yapfignore or pyproject.toml) In addition to exclude patterns provided on commandline, YAPF looks for additional patterns specified in a file named `.yapfignore` or `pyproject.toml` located in the working directory from which YAPF is invoked. `.yapfignore`'s syntax is similar to UNIX's filename pattern matching: ``` * matches everything ? matches any single character [seq] matches any character in seq [!seq] matches any character not in seq ``` Note that no entry should begin with `./`. If you use `pyproject.toml`, exclude patterns are specified by `ignore_patterns` key in `[tool.yapfignore]` section. For example: ```ini [tool.yapfignore] ignore_patterns = [ "temp/**/*.py", "temp2/*.py" ] ``` Formatting style ================ The formatting style used by YAPF is configurable and there are many "knobs" that can be used to tune how YAPF does formatting. See the `style.py` module for the full list. To control the style, run YAPF with the `--style` argument. It accepts one of the predefined styles (e.g., `pep8` or `google`), a path to a configuration file that specifies the desired style, or a dictionary of key/value pairs. The config file is a simple listing of (case-insensitive) `key = value` pairs with a `[style]` heading. For example: ```ini [style] based_on_style = pep8 spaces_before_comment = 4 split_before_logical_operator = true ``` The `based_on_style` setting determines which of the predefined styles this custom style is based on (think of it like subclassing). Four styles are predefined: - `pep8` (default) - `google` (based off of the [Google Python Style Guide](https://github.com/google/styleguide/blob/gh-pages/pyguide.md)) - `yapf` (for use with Google open source projects) - `facebook` See `_STYLE_NAME_TO_FACTORY` in [`style.py`](https://github.com/google/yapf/blob/main/yapf/yapflib/style.py) for details. It's also possible to do the same on the command line with a dictionary. For example: ```bash --style='{based_on_style: pep8, indent_width: 2}' ``` This will take the `pep8` base style and modify it to have two space indentations. YAPF will search for the formatting style in the following manner: 1. Specified on the command line 2. In the `[style]` section of a `.style.yapf` file in either the current directory or one of its parent directories. 3. In the `[yapf]` section of a `setup.cfg` file in either the current directory or one of its parent directories. 4. In the `[tool.yapf]` section of a `pyproject.toml` file in either the current directory or one of its parent directories. 5. In the `[style]` section of a `~/.config/yapf/style` file in your home directory. If none of those files are found, the default style PEP8 is used. Example ======= An example of the type of formatting that YAPF can do, it will take this ugly code: ```python x = { 'a':37,'b':42, 'c':927} y = 'hello ''world' z = 'hello '+'world' a = 'hello {}'.format('world') class foo ( object ): def f (self ): return 37*-+2 def g(self, x,y=42): return y def f ( a ) : return 37+-+a[42-x : y**3] ``` and reformat it into: ```python x = {'a': 37, 'b': 42, 'c': 927} y = 'hello ' 'world' z = 'hello ' + 'world' a = 'hello {}'.format('world') class foo(object): def f(self): return 37 * -+2 def g(self, x, y=42): return y def f(a): return 37 + -+a[42 - x:y**3] ``` ## Example as a module The two main APIs for calling YAPF are `FormatCode` and `FormatFile`, these share several arguments which are described below: ```python >>> from yapf.yapflib.yapf_api import FormatCode # reformat a string of code >>> formatted_code, changed = FormatCode("f ( a = 1, b = 2 )") >>> formatted_code 'f(a=1, b=2)\n' >>> changed True ``` A `style_config` argument: Either a style name or a path to a file that contains formatting style settings. If None is specified, use the default style as set in `style.DEFAULT_STYLE_FACTORY`. ```python >>> FormatCode("def g():\n return True", style_config='pep8')[0] 'def g():\n return True\n' ``` A `lines` argument: A list of tuples of lines (ints), [start, end], that we want to format. The lines are 1-based indexed. It can be used by third-party code (e.g., IDEs) when reformatting a snippet of code rather than a whole file. ```python >>> FormatCode("def g( ):\n a=1\n b = 2\n return a==b", lines=[(1, 1), (2, 3)])[0] 'def g():\n a = 1\n b = 2\n return a==b\n' ``` A `print_diff` (bool): Instead of returning the reformatted source, return a diff that turns the formatted source into reformatted source. ```diff >>> print(FormatCode("a==b", filename="foo.py", print_diff=True)[0]) --- foo.py (original) +++ foo.py (reformatted) @@ -1 +1 @@ -a==b +a == b ``` Note: the `filename` argument for `FormatCode` is what is inserted into the diff, the default is ``. `FormatFile` returns reformatted code from the passed file along with its encoding: ```python >>> from yapf.yapflib.yapf_api import FormatFile # reformat a file >>> print(open("foo.py").read()) # contents of file a==b >>> reformatted_code, encoding, changed = FormatFile("foo.py") >>> formatted_code 'a == b\n' >>> encoding 'utf-8' >>> changed True ``` The `in_place` argument saves the reformatted code back to the file: ```python >>> FormatFile("foo.py", in_place=True)[:2] (None, 'utf-8') >>> print(open("foo.py").read()) # contents of file (now fixed) a == b ``` ## Formatting diffs Options: ```console usage: yapf-diff [-h] [-i] [-p NUM] [--regex PATTERN] [--iregex PATTERN][-v] [--style STYLE] [--binary BINARY] This script reads input from a unified diff and reformats all the changed lines. This is useful to reformat all the lines touched by a specific patch. Example usage for git/svn users: git diff -U0 --no-color --relative HEAD^ | yapf-diff -i svn diff --diff-cmd=diff -x-U0 | yapf-diff -p0 -i It should be noted that the filename contained in the diff is used unmodified to determine the source file to update. Users calling this script directly should be careful to ensure that the path in the diff is correct relative to the current working directory. optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit -i, --in-place apply edits to files instead of displaying a diff -p NUM, --prefix NUM strip the smallest prefix containing P slashes --regex PATTERN custom pattern selecting file paths to reformat (case sensitive, overrides -iregex) --iregex PATTERN custom pattern selecting file paths to reformat (case insensitive, overridden by -regex) -v, --verbose be more verbose, ineffective without -i --style STYLE specify formatting style: either a style name (for example "pep8" or "google"), or the name of a file with style settings. The default is pep8 unless a .style.yapf or setup.cfg or pyproject.toml file located in the same directory as the source or one of its parent directories (for stdin, the current directory is used). --binary BINARY location of binary to use for YAPF ``` ## Knobs #### `ALIGN_CLOSING_BRACKET_WITH_VISUAL_INDENT` > Align closing bracket with visual indentation. #### `ALLOW_MULTILINE_LAMBDAS` > Allow lambdas to be formatted on more than one line. #### `ALLOW_MULTILINE_DICTIONARY_KEYS` > Allow dictionary keys to exist on multiple lines. For example: ```python x = { ('this is the first element of a tuple', 'this is the second element of a tuple'): value, } ``` #### `ALLOW_SPLIT_BEFORE_DEFAULT_OR_NAMED_ASSIGNS` > Allow splitting before a default / named assignment in an argument list. #### `ALLOW_SPLIT_BEFORE_DICT_VALUE` > Allow splits before the dictionary value. #### `ARITHMETIC_PRECEDENCE_INDICATION` > Let spacing indicate operator precedence. For example: ```python a = 1 * 2 + 3 / 4 b = 1 / 2 - 3 * 4 c = (1 + 2) * (3 - 4) d = (1 - 2) / (3 + 4) e = 1 * 2 - 3 f = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 ``` > will be formatted as follows to indicate precedence: ```python a = 1*2 + 3/4 b = 1/2 - 3*4 c = (1+2) * (3-4) d = (1-2) / (3+4) e = 1*2 - 3 f = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 ``` #### `BLANK_LINES_AROUND_TOP_LEVEL_DEFINITION` > Sets the number of desired blank lines surrounding top-level function and > class definitions. For example: ```python class Foo: pass # <------ having two blank lines here # <------ is the default setting class Bar: pass ``` #### `BLANK_LINE_BEFORE_CLASS_DOCSTRING` > Insert a blank line before a class-level docstring. #### `BLANK_LINE_BEFORE_MODULE_DOCSTRING` > Insert a blank line before a module docstring. #### `BLANK_LINE_BEFORE_NESTED_CLASS_OR_DEF` > Insert a blank line before a `def` or `class` immediately nested within > another `def` or `class`. For example: ```python class Foo: # <------ this blank line def method(): pass ``` #### `BLANK_LINES_BETWEEN_TOP_LEVEL_IMPORTS_AND_VARIABLES` > Sets the number of desired blank lines between top-level imports and > variable definitions. Useful for compatibility with tools like isort. #### `COALESCE_BRACKETS` > Do not split consecutive brackets. Only relevant when > `DEDENT_CLOSING_BRACKETS` or `INDENT_CLOSING_BRACKETS` is set. For example: ```python call_func_that_takes_a_dict( { 'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2', } ) ``` > would reformat to: ```python call_func_that_takes_a_dict({ 'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2', }) ``` #### `COLUMN_LIMIT` > The column limit (or max line-length) #### `CONTINUATION_ALIGN_STYLE` > The style for continuation alignment. Possible values are: > - `SPACE`: Use spaces for continuation alignment. This is default > behavior. > - `FIXED`: Use fixed number (`CONTINUATION_INDENT_WIDTH`) of columns > (i.e. `CONTINUATION_INDENT_WIDTH`/`INDENT_WIDTH` tabs or > `CONTINUATION_INDENT_WIDTH` spaces) for continuation alignment. > - `VALIGN-RIGHT`: Vertically align continuation lines to multiple of > `INDENT_WIDTH` columns. Slightly right (one tab or a few spaces) if cannot > vertically align continuation lines with indent characters. #### `CONTINUATION_INDENT_WIDTH` > Indent width used for line continuations. #### `DEDENT_CLOSING_BRACKETS` > Put closing brackets on a separate line, dedented, if the bracketed > expression can't fit in a single line. Applies to all kinds of brackets, > including function definitions and calls. For example: ```python config = { 'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2', } # <--- this bracket is dedented and on a separate line time_series = self.remote_client.query_entity_counters( entity='dev3246.region1', key='dns.query_latency_tcp', transform=Transformation.AVERAGE(window=timedelta(seconds=60)), start_ts=now()-timedelta(days=3), end_ts=now(), ) # <--- this bracket is dedented and on a separate line ``` #### `DISABLE_ENDING_COMMA_HEURISTIC` > Disable the heuristic which places each list element on a separate line if > the list is comma-terminated. #### `EACH_DICT_ENTRY_ON_SEPARATE_LINE` > Place each dictionary entry onto its own line. #### `FORCE_MULTILINE_DICT` > Respect `EACH_DICT_ENTRY_ON_SEPARATE_LINE` even if the line is shorter than > `COLUMN_LIMIT`. #### `I18N_COMMENT` > The regex for an internationalization comment. The presence of this comment > stops reformatting of that line, because the comments are required to be > next to the string they translate. #### `I18N_FUNCTION_CALL` > The internationalization function call names. The presence of this function > stops reformatting on that line, because the string it has cannot be moved > away from the i18n comment. #### `INDENT_BLANK_LINES` > Set to `True` to prefer indented blank lines rather than empty #### `INDENT_CLOSING_BRACKETS` > Put closing brackets on a separate line, indented, if the bracketed > expression can't fit in a single line. Applies to all kinds of brackets, > including function definitions and calls. For example: ```python config = { 'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2', } # <--- this bracket is indented and on a separate line time_series = self.remote_client.query_entity_counters( entity='dev3246.region1', key='dns.query_latency_tcp', transform=Transformation.AVERAGE(window=timedelta(seconds=60)), start_ts=now()-timedelta(days=3), end_ts=now(), ) # <--- this bracket is indented and on a separate line ``` #### `INDENT_DICTIONARY_VALUE` > Indent the dictionary value if it cannot fit on the same line as the > dictionary key. For example: ```python config = { 'key1': 'value1', 'key2': value1 + value2, } ``` #### `INDENT_WIDTH` > The number of columns to use for indentation. #### `JOIN_MULTIPLE_LINES` > Join short lines into one line. E.g., single line `if` statements. #### `NO_SPACES_AROUND_SELECTED_BINARY_OPERATORS` > Do not include spaces around selected binary operators. For example: ```python 1 + 2 * 3 - 4 / 5 ``` > will be formatted as follows when configured with `*`, `/`: ```python 1 + 2*3 - 4/5 ``` #### `SPACE_BETWEEN_ENDING_COMMA_AND_CLOSING_BRACKET` > Insert a space between the ending comma and closing bracket of a list, etc. #### `SPACE_INSIDE_BRACKETS` Use spaces inside brackets, braces, and parentheses. For example: ```python method_call( 1 ) my_dict[ 3 ][ 1 ][ get_index( *args, **kwargs ) ] my_set = { 1, 2, 3 } ``` #### `SPACES_AROUND_DEFAULT_OR_NAMED_ASSIGN` > Set to `True` to prefer spaces around the assignment operator for default > or keyword arguments. #### `SPACES_AROUND_DICT_DELIMITERS` > Adds a space after the opening '{' and before the ending '}' dict delimiters. ```python {1: 2} ``` > will be formatted as: ```python { 1: 2 } ``` #### `SPACES_AROUND_LIST_DELIMITERS` > Adds a space after the opening '[' and before the ending ']' list delimiters. ```python [1, 2] ``` > will be formatted as: ```python [ 1, 2 ] ``` #### `SPACES_AROUND_POWER_OPERATOR` > Set to `True` to prefer using spaces around `**`. #### `SPACES_AROUND_SUBSCRIPT_COLON` > Use spaces around the subscript / slice operator. For example: ```python my_list[1 : 10 : 2] ``` ##### `SPACES_AROUND_TUPLE_DELIMITERS` > Adds a space after the opening '(' and before the ending ')' tuple delimiters. ```python (1, 2, 3) ``` > will be formatted as: ```python ( 1, 2, 3 ) ``` #### `SPACES_BEFORE_COMMENT` > The number of spaces required before a trailing comment. > This can be a single value (representing the number of spaces > before each trailing comment) or list of values (representing > alignment column values; trailing comments within a block will > be aligned to the first column value that is greater than the maximum > line length within the block). > **Note:** Lists of values may need to be quoted in some contexts > (eg. shells or editor config files). > For example, with `spaces_before_comment=5`: ```python 1 + 1 # Adding values ``` > will be formatted as: ```python 1 + 1 # Adding values <-- 5 spaces between the end of the statement and comment ``` > with `spaces_before_comment="15, 20"`: ```python 1 + 1 # Adding values two + two # More adding longer_statement # This is a longer statement short # This is a shorter statement a_very_long_statement_that_extends_beyond_the_final_column # Comment short # This is a shorter statement ``` > will be formatted as: ```python 1 + 1 # Adding values <-- end of line comments in block aligned to col 15 two + two # More adding longer_statement # This is a longer statement <-- end of line comments in block aligned to col 20 short # This is a shorter statement a_very_long_statement_that_extends_beyond_the_final_column # Comment <-- the end of line comments are aligned based on the line length short # This is a shorter statement ``` #### `SPLIT_ALL_COMMA_SEPARATED_VALUES` > If a comma separated list (`dict`, `list`, `tuple`, or function `def`) is > on a line that is too long, split such that each element is on a separate > line. #### `SPLIT_ALL_TOP_LEVEL_COMMA_SEPARATED_VALUES` > Variation on `SPLIT_ALL_COMMA_SEPARATED_VALUES` in which, if a > subexpression with a comma fits in its starting line, then the > subexpression is not split. This avoids splits like the one for > `b` in this code: ```python abcdef( aReallyLongThing: int, b: [Int, Int]) ``` > with the new knob this is split as: ```python abcdef( aReallyLongThing: int, b: [Int, Int]) ``` #### `SPLIT_ARGUMENTS_WHEN_COMMA_TERMINATED` > Split before arguments if the argument list is terminated by a comma. #### `SPLIT_BEFORE_ARITHMETIC_OPERATOR` > Set to `True` to prefer splitting before `+`, `-`, `*`, `/`, `//`, or `@` > rather than after. #### `SPLIT_BEFORE_BITWISE_OPERATOR` > Set to `True` to prefer splitting before `&`, `|` or `^` rather than after. #### `SPLIT_BEFORE_CLOSING_BRACKET` > Split before the closing bracket if a `list` or `dict` literal doesn't fit > on a single line. #### `SPLIT_BEFORE_DICT_SET_GENERATOR` > Split before a dictionary or set generator (`comp_for`). For example, note > the split before the `for`: ```python foo = { variable: 'Hello world, have a nice day!' for variable in bar if variable != 42 } ``` #### `SPLIT_BEFORE_DOT` > Split before the `.` if we need to split a longer expression: ```python foo = ('This is a really long string: {}, {}, {}, {}'.format(a, b, c, d)) ``` > would reformat to something like: ```python foo = ('This is a really long string: {}, {}, {}, {}' .format(a, b, c, d)) ``` #### `SPLIT_BEFORE_EXPRESSION_AFTER_OPENING_PAREN` > Split after the opening paren which surrounds an expression if it doesn't > fit on a single line. #### `SPLIT_BEFORE_FIRST_ARGUMENT` > If an argument / parameter list is going to be split, then split before the > first argument. #### `SPLIT_BEFORE_LOGICAL_OPERATOR` > Set to `True` to prefer splitting before `and` or `or` rather than after. #### `SPLIT_BEFORE_NAMED_ASSIGNS` > Split named assignments onto individual lines. #### `SPLIT_COMPLEX_COMPREHENSION` > For list comprehensions and generator expressions with multiple clauses > (e.g multiple `for` calls, `if` filter expressions) and which need to be > reflowed, split each clause onto its own line. For example: ```python result = [ a_var + b_var for a_var in xrange(1000) for b_var in xrange(1000) if a_var % b_var] ``` > would reformat to something like: ```python result = [ a_var + b_var for a_var in xrange(1000) for b_var in xrange(1000) if a_var % b_var] ``` #### `SPLIT_PENALTY_AFTER_OPENING_BRACKET` > The penalty for splitting right after the opening bracket. #### `SPLIT_PENALTY_AFTER_UNARY_OPERATOR` > The penalty for splitting the line after a unary operator. #### `SPLIT_PENALTY_ARITHMETIC_OPERATOR` > The penalty of splitting the line around the `+`, `-`, `*`, `/`, `//`, `%`, > and `@` operators. #### `SPLIT_PENALTY_BEFORE_IF_EXPR` > The penalty for splitting right before an `if` expression. #### `SPLIT_PENALTY_BITWISE_OPERATOR` > The penalty of splitting the line around the `&`, `|`, and `^` operators. #### `SPLIT_PENALTY_COMPREHENSION` > The penalty for splitting a list comprehension or generator expression. #### `SPLIT_PENALTY_EXCESS_CHARACTER` > The penalty for characters over the column limit. #### `SPLIT_PENALTY_FOR_ADDED_LINE_SPLIT` > The penalty incurred by adding a line split to the logical line. The more > line splits added the higher the penalty. #### `SPLIT_PENALTY_IMPORT_NAMES` > The penalty of splitting a list of `import as` names. For example: ```python from a_very_long_or_indented_module_name_yada_yad import (long_argument_1, long_argument_2, long_argument_3) ``` > would reformat to something like: ```python from a_very_long_or_indented_module_name_yada_yad import ( long_argument_1, long_argument_2, long_argument_3) ``` #### `SPLIT_PENALTY_LOGICAL_OPERATOR` > The penalty of splitting the line around the `and` and `or` operators. #### `USE_TABS` > Use the Tab character for indentation. ## (Potentially) Frequently Asked Questions ### Why does YAPF destroy my awesome formatting? YAPF tries very hard to get the formatting correct. But for some code, it won't be as good as hand-formatting. In particular, large data literals may become horribly disfigured under YAPF. The reasons for this are manyfold. In short, YAPF is simply a tool to help with development. It will format things to coincide with the style guide, but that may not equate with readability. What can be done to alleviate this situation is to indicate regions YAPF should ignore when reformatting something: ```python # yapf: disable FOO = { # ... some very large, complex data literal. } BAR = [ # ... another large data literal. ] # yapf: enable ``` You can also disable formatting for a single literal like this: ```python BAZ = { (1, 2, 3, 4), (5, 6, 7, 8), (9, 10, 11, 12), } # yapf: disable ``` To preserve the nice dedented closing brackets, use the `dedent_closing_brackets` in your style. Note that in this case all brackets, including function definitions and calls, are going to use that style. This provides consistency across the formatted codebase. ### Why Not Improve Existing Tools? We wanted to use clang-format's reformatting algorithm. It's very powerful and designed to come up with the best formatting possible. Existing tools were created with different goals in mind, and would require extensive modifications to convert to using clang-format's algorithm. ### Can I Use YAPF In My Program? Please do! YAPF was designed to be used as a library as well as a command line tool. This means that a tool or IDE plugin is free to use YAPF. ### I still get non-PEP8 compliant code! Why? YAPF tries very hard to be fully PEP 8 compliant. However, it is paramount to not risk altering the semantics of your code. Thus, YAPF tries to be as safe as possible and does not change the token stream (e.g., by adding parentheses). All these cases however, can be easily fixed manually. For instance, ```python from my_package import my_function_1, my_function_2, my_function_3, my_function_4, my_function_5 FOO = my_variable_1 + my_variable_2 + my_variable_3 + my_variable_4 + my_variable_5 + my_variable_6 + my_variable_7 + my_variable_8 ``` won't be split, but you can easily get it right by just adding parentheses: ```python from my_package import (my_function_1, my_function_2, my_function_3, my_function_4, my_function_5) FOO = (my_variable_1 + my_variable_2 + my_variable_3 + my_variable_4 + my_variable_5 + my_variable_6 + my_variable_7 + my_variable_8) ``` ## Gory Details ### Algorithm Design The main data structure in YAPF is the `LogicalLine` object. It holds a list of `FormatToken`\s, that we would want to place on a single line if there were no column limit. An exception being a comment in the middle of an expression statement will force the line to be formatted on more than one line. The formatter works on one `LogicalLine` object at a time. An `LogicalLine` typically won't affect the formatting of lines before or after it. There is a part of the algorithm that may join two or more `LogicalLine`\s into one line. For instance, an if-then statement with a short body can be placed on a single line: ```python if a == 42: continue ``` YAPF's formatting algorithm creates a weighted tree that acts as the solution space for the algorithm. Each node in the tree represents the result of a formatting decision --- i.e., whether to split or not to split before a token. Each formatting decision has a cost associated with it. Therefore, the cost is realized on the edge between two nodes. (In reality, the weighted tree doesn't have separate edge objects, so the cost resides on the nodes themselves.) For example, take the following Python code snippet. For the sake of this example, assume that line (1) violates the column limit restriction and needs to be reformatted. ```python def xxxxxxxxxxx(aaaaaaaaaaaa, bbbbbbbbb, cccccccc, dddddddd, eeeeee): # 1 pass # 2 ``` For line (1), the algorithm will build a tree where each node (a `FormattingDecisionState` object) is the state of the line at that token given the decision to split before the token or not. Note: the `FormatDecisionState` objects are copied by value so each node in the graph is unique and a change in one doesn't affect other nodes. Heuristics are used to determine the costs of splitting or not splitting. Because a node holds the state of the tree up to a token's insertion, it can easily determine if a splitting decision will violate one of the style requirements. For instance, the heuristic is able to apply an extra penalty to the edge when not splitting between the previous token and the one being added. There are some instances where we will never want to split the line, because doing so will always be detrimental (i.e., it will require a backslash-newline, which is very rarely desirable). For line (1), we will never want to split the first three tokens: `def`, `xxxxxxxxxxx`, and `(`. Nor will we want to split between the `)` and the `:` at the end. These regions are said to be "unbreakable." This is reflected in the tree by there not being a "split" decision (left hand branch) within the unbreakable region. Now that we have the tree, we determine what the "best" formatting is by finding the path through the tree with the lowest cost. And that's it!
