a pluggable and configurable code formatting platform.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
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.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
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.

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
