usage: autopep8 [-h] [--version] [-v] [-d] [-i] [--global-config filename]

[--ignore-local-config] [-r] [-j n] [-p n] [-a] [--experimental] [--exclude globs] [--list-fixes] [--ignore errors] [--select errors] [--max-line-length n] [--line-range line line] [--hang-closing] [--exit-code] [files ...]

-r, --recursive

run recursively over directories; must be used with --in-place or --diff

-j n, --jobs n

number of parallel jobs; match CPU count if value is less than 1

-p n, --pep8-passes n

maximum number of additional pep8 passes (default: infinite)

-a, --aggressive

enable non-whitespace changes; multiple -a result in more aggressive changes

--experimental

enable experimental fixes

--exclude globs

exclude file/directory names that match these commaseparated globs

--list-fixes

list codes for fixes; used by --ignore and --select

--ignore errors

do not fix these errors/warnings (default: E226,E24,W50,W690)

--select errors

fix only these errors/warnings (e.g. E4,W)
