Installing reindent python

Question

I have lot of issues with Python indentation with the Notepad++. Inorder to resolve, I tried to install Python reindent module but Im unsuccessful on how to use it. If anyon

Answer 1

You're trying to run the command from the Python interpreter instead of the command line. As reindent is a script program, it needs to be run from the command line.

You want to use either

 C:\...\> python -m reindent -d C:\Python27\wxpython\ch2-updateui.py

or just

 C:\...\> reindent -d C:\Python27\wxpython\ch2-updateui.py

at your command prompt.

Answer 2

Try downloading this as reindent.bat in your C:\Python27\Scripts. Then it should just be a matter of reindent path\to\file.py

Answer 3

I don't know anything about the package, but the command you are using indeed does not conform to Python syntax. I'd guess you need to run it in your terminal, not Python interpreter.
