help: code formatter?

[siggi]

Hi all,

as a newbie I have problems with formatting code of downloaded programs,
because IDLE's reformatting capabilities are limited . Incorrect
indentation, mixing of TAB with BLANKs or eol are often very nasty to
correct.
Is there a simple code formatter that first removes all indentations and
then refomats correctly?

Please help!

Thank you,

siggi

Why don't you just write one?

Seriously: Try.

BTW: Guessing to what amount of space TABs must be converted in
mixed source can be non-trivial.

It isn't funny at all. You'll learn by doing and trying things.
That's how all programmers start.
