Autopep8

Report a typo

You have a following piece of code:

def function() :
        #a misplaced comment
    return result

When you try to correct it with autopep8 --in-place file.py, you get this:

def function():
    # a misplaced comment
    return result

The program has corrected indentation and whitespace problems, but ignored a serious mistake – the undefined result variable. Why did it happen?

Select one option from the list

You should run autopep8 file.py without --in-place

It's some sort of bug, just try to run it again

It's natural, autopep8 doesn't correct logical errors

You should run pycodestyle first and use autopep8 after that
