Summary

Provide Python code formatting once Monaco Format document piping exists for the playground — browser-friendly constraint (Pyodide) vs server-backed formatter.

Options to evaluate — pick implementation time

A. Run Black (or autopep8) inside Pyodide worker if WASM port available and deps acceptable.
B. Backend / code-execution microservice: format user snippet with black (or Ruff --format), return text — aligns with graded runs already leaving the sandbox.
C. Lighter PEP8-only heuristic (last resort — not parity with “Black”).

Integration

  • Implement provideDocumentFormattingEditProvider('python', …) (or our Monaco language id).
  • Latency UX: spinner / cancel for slow WASM cold start.
  • Teaching: deterministic output for novices preferred.

Dependency

Platform Format toolbar + Monaco #24 + parent platform ticket.
