I really think that as you delve into python, you'll find that beautiful 
code just happens. Python is case-sensitive and has meaningful 
whitespace, for instance, which unlike VFP forces you to be consistent 
as you go. I've just never had the need for a VFP-like 'beautify' in Python.

That said, there are indeed tools you can run separately from your 
editor, such as PyChecker, that will look for and report on "problem 
areas" in your code, such as variables that are defined but never used, 
etc. Additionally, you could write your own simple tools to make common 
beautification tweaks to your code.

I think that keeping the editor functionally separate from tools to 
check/change your source is really much better, but as always YMMV. 
You'd need to get out of the paradigm of expecting a single central IDE 
to have all the tools you want, and get used to launching external tools 
as needed (easiest by having several command windows open at once).

BTW, I couldn't keep the context of the quoting correct without spending 
an inordinate amount of editing time, probably because of your choice of 
email client:

X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.3790.2826

You are aware that there are much better choices than that, right?
