If you have worked with Python, you might be bothered by the PEP 8 (Style Guide for Python Code) a lot since it has a list of complicated rules in order to make your code more readable.
A good news is that one of my colleagues introduced a automation tool to smartly format your Python code and it can also be integrated into various IDEs and ediotrs like PyCharm,Sublime, Emacs, Vim, Atom, just name a few.
Following is a very simple example showing how nicely the formatter can make your coding life easier!

def details(self) -> dict:
"""Fetch and buffer catalog details from platform."""
if not self._catalog_details:
self._catalog_details = self.api.get_catalog_details(hrn=self.hrn, lookup_apis=self.apis)
self._catalog_details['layers_by_id'] = {layer['id']: layer for layer in self._catalog_details['layers']}

def details(self) -> dict:
"""Fetch and buffer catalog details from platform."""
if not self._catalog_details:
self._catalog_details = self.api.get_catalog_details(
hrn=self.hrn, lookup_apis=self.apis
)
self._catalog_details["layers_by_id"] = {
layer["id"]: layer for layer in self._catalog_details["layers"]
}
Much clear, huh?
Here you can find the official site of the Black tool including how to install and play with it, have fun!
