autopep8 on .rst documentation files

[arthurzenika]

Thanks for autopep8, it really helps getting some code to a almost readable style when getting legacy code.

I'm currently working on documentation which is in restructured text (.rst), and part of that has been converted from latex with latex2rst, so a lot of fixing needs to be done. I am dreaming about doing autopep8 -i *.rst as I sometimes to with .py files.

Any chance of getting such a feature with autopep8 ? Do you know of any projects that could do this ? I'm going to ask https://github.com/myint/docformatter too if there is place for .rst transformation there...

I've actually looked for a reStructuredText formatter in the past. I didn't find one. But if there is one, it seems like it wouldn't be too difficult to have it call autopep8 on the Python code blocks.
