Use an automated code formatter

[svartkanin]

The code currently contains different formats which is understandable in an OSS project :)
I personally use YAPF (https://github.com/google/yapf) in my projects which allows one to customize the code formatting.
I think it would be very beneficial to use this to auto format the code when commiting, possibly with a commit hook

I'm not against it, but I'm against intrusive tools.
mypy is even bordering untolerable forced changes, despite how well you configure it.

But I'll have a look at YAPF. For clarity, black is a no-go for me. It's way to strict :)

I totally share the view on black with you, i tried it once and never again :)
Yapf allows you to configure pretty much any formatting rule which gives you the mighty power of creating your own python ;)

Also since you mentioned mypy being a PITA, having a automatic custom but valid python formatter would probably eliminate some of the mypy issues as well then

This sounds like something I could agree on :) I like mypy for the fact that it catches a few data types. And I kind of like that it forces me to do less magical functions that "does everything".. I should think more about separation of duties and stuff, which is why I kinda like mypy.
