dprint-py

What it is and what it does

dprint-py packages the dprint code formatter for Python environments. dprint is a pluggable formatting platform designed to handle multiple programming languages and file types through a single tool, with configuration-driven behavior. The package provides Python bindings to the underlying dprint engine, which is written in Rust.

You install it as a standard Python package and call its formatting functions from Python code. It has no runtime Python dependencies, relying instead on pre-compiled binaries for your platform. The wrapper lets you integrate dprint's formatting capabilities into Python workflows, scripts, or applications without managing a separate dprint binary.

Use it for:

• Format code in multiple languages as part of a Python-based CI/CD pipeline
• Integrate code formatting into a Python development tool or IDE plugin
• Batch-format project files across different file types using a single configuration
• Enforce consistent code style in a polyglot codebase from a Python script
• Add formatting capabilities to a Python linting or code-quality tool

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

dprint-py is a Python wrapper for dprint, a pluggable and configurable code formatting platform that can format multiple file types through a unified interface.

Yes, if you need multi-language code formatting in a Python environment. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and carries a permissive MIT license. Medium install friction is typical for compiled packages and should not deter use. Verify that dprint supports the file types you need before committing.

Install

dprint-py on PyPI

pip install dprint-py

uv add dprint-py

poetry add dprint-py

Installing dprint-py

Before you install

Medium install friction due to platform-specific wheels (macOS arm64/x86_64, Linux aarch64/x86_64, Windows amd64/arm64). Active maintenance with a release 30 days ago and recent repository activity.

License in practice

MIT license permits commercial and private use with minimal restrictions; you may use, modify, and distribute dprint-py freely provided you include the license notice.

Quickstart

pip install dprint-py

import dprint

# Format a file or string
formatted = dprint.format_text(code_text, file_type='typescript')

Verify before relying

• Specific file types and languages supported by this version of dprint
• Configuration file format and available formatting options
• Performance characteristics and typical use patterns
• Whether this is a maintained fork or official PyPI distribution
