[Python-ideas] gofmt for Python: standardized styling as a language feature

[Nicholas Chammas]

First class means it's like a language feature. Actually, in my case I am
using "first-class" and "included with the language" synonymously. Not sure
if that's appropriate terminology, but that's what I mean.

To explain by rough analogy, Twisted is to asyncio what autopep8 would be
to a first-class auto-styler. (I say "rough" because I understand that
Twisted is not supposed to be replaced entirely by asyncio, but I hope my
point is clear.)
