Formatting Code

You can reformat Python code according to a set of consistent layout rules.
To reformat a Python file, click the Edit menu and select from the Formatting options.
Note that the entire Python file is formatted, irrespective of how much code is selected in the editor. This is because a selection might not be syntactically valid on its own, so the entire file is required for context.

The Python formatter respects the project settings regarding the use of tabs or spaces in a file. It does not currently have any other configuration options.

Tip: If you are working on the same Python file in another IDE besides Xpress Workbench, be aware that the other IDE might have different formatting rules, or its rules might be configured differently. To avoid making unnecessary cosmetic changes that might make it harder to compare code versions, use only one IDE consistently for formatting.
