# Autopep8

> Autopep8 automatically formats Python code to meet PEP 8 standards, using pycodestyle to identify and correct formatting issues for cleaner code.

[**Autopep8**](https://github.com/hhatto/autopep8#readme) is a formatter for Python.

You can enable the Autopep8 formatter with:

```shell theme={null}
trunk check enable autopep8
```

## Auto Enabling

Autopep8 will be auto-enabled if a `.pep8` config file is present.

## Settings

Autopep8 supports the following config files:

You can move these files to `.trunk/configs` and `trunk check` will still find them. See [Moving Linters](../configure-linters#moving-linters) for more info.
