Codistancing is a Python 3.8+ code formatter that makes sure tokens in your code do not infect each other. By using it, you agree to cede control over the looks of your code. In return, Codistancing gives you determinism and extremely unreadable code - but at least it is disease free.

Just clone this project.

usage: codistancing.py [-h] [-l] [-m MEAN] [-s STD] [-c CODE] [-d]
                       [FILE [FILE ...]]

The annoying (yet disease-free) code formatter.

positional arguments:
  FILE                  Files to reformat (in place) (default: [])

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -l, --line            Include distancing between lines (default: False)
  -m MEAN, --mean MEAN  Mean number of spaces to add. (default: 4)
  -s STD, --std STD     Standard deviation of number of spaces to add.
                        (default: 0)
  -c CODE, --code CODE  Format the code passed in as a string. (default: None)
  -d, --dry-run         Don't write the files back, just return the status.
                        Return code 0 means nothing would change. Return code
                        1 means some files would be reformatted. (default:
                        False)

Codistancing is a well-behaved Unix-style command-line tool:

• it does nothing if no sources are passed to it;
• it only outputs messages to users on standard error;
• exits with code 0 unless an internal error occurred (or --dry-run was used);
• its README file is based on cutting edge formatters.

Codistancing is not used by anyone and no one should probably use it. Also, this is a beta product and your code might not run after running

Basically, add spaces everywhere. This usually do not go well with PEP8.

Codistancing adds four spaces between every two tokens in the same line.

# in:
if (x > y): continue

# out:
if    (    x    >    y    )    :    continue

If this results in lines longer than 80 characters - well, too bad for you.

# in:
one, two, three, four = (1, 2, 3, 4)

# out:
one    ,    two    ,    three    ,    four    =    (    1    ,    2    ,    3    ,    4    )

If the --line argument is not passed, spacing between lines remains as it is. Otherwise, Codistancing makes sure there are blank lines between every two content lines.

# in:
if x:
    pass

# out:
if    x    :


    pass

The original number of blank lines is ignored.

Codistancing does not care whether you use tabs or spaces. Using tabs is your own damn problem and Codistancing cannot help you with that.

There are no integrations and I do not plan to add any. This is a stupid tool that was created as a joke during CoVID-19 social distancing times. Do yourself a favor and do not use it if you care about your codebase. Use black instead.
