Visual Selection Range Formatting Support for Python files using black formatter
Thanks for your suggestions. I have gone through the GitHub issue that you have mentioned. From there I got to know about this plugin https://github.com/akaihola/darker
-
Is rustfmt abandoned? Will it ever format `let ... else` syntax?
For Python, Darker does that by applying Black only to changed areas of the code. Maybe the same approach could be used for rustfmt by creating a separate tool?
-
Can the null-ls formatter be configured to automatically format only new code, and leave existing code alone?
Not an answer to your question but in the specific case of black you can instead use: https://github.com/akaihola/darker

I'm an amateur Python programmer, what's my next step?
For instance, we have a number of interesting features planned for the 1.5.0 release of Darker, a tool for running Black/isort/pylint/flake8 but limiting to only lines modified between two given Git commits.

Does Github Actions support writing custom actions in python?
I knew one library using "composite". - Darker: https://github.com/akaihola/darker/blob/master/action.yml - More details here: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/creating-actions/creating-a-composite-action

Django now uses black to format it's codebase
There's also Darker for only reformatting (using Black) the lines modified by commits.

How to do range formatting for python?
Assuming the range you're interested in is a range with your changes, you should look at darker.

Typehole – Create TypeScript interfaces from JS runtime values automatically
Yeah that's how we've used it. The results need manual checking, but together with darker https://github.com/akaihola/darker that's how we've been slowly ratcheting our Django monolith into a typed codebase.

Enhance Your Project Quality with These Top Python Libraries
MonkeyType collects runtime types of function arguments and return values, and can automatically generate stub files or add type annotations directly to your Python code based on the types collected at runtime.
-
A Tale of Two Kitchens - Hypermodernizing Your Python Code Base
To alleviate the burden of manual annotation, MonkeyType offers a clever solution. It dynamically observes the types entering and leaving functions during code execution. Based on this observation, it generates a preliminary draft of type annotations. This significantly reduces the effort needed to add type hints to legacy code.
- Do you know any library that automatically detects unused files / functions inside a project folder?
-
Programming Breakthroughs We Need
https://github.com/instagram/MonkeyType can perform the call logging, and can export a static typing file which is used by mypy, but also e.g. PyCharm. It doesn't expose such fine grained types, but you could build that based on the logged data.
-
Gradually introduce type checking to an existing typed codebase.
Which introduces MonkeyType, a python library that generatics static type annotations by collecting runtime types.
- Call me naive, but would it not be possible to create a tool for python the auto adds type hints at run time?
- Is there any language that is as similar as possible to Python in syntax, readability, and features, but is statically typed?
