  • Navigate to library directory of your environment
  • Open autopep8.py
  • Search for "DEFAULT_INDENT_SIZE" and change it to 2

If using minioconda, autopep8.py file can be found in the location as below

  • miniconda3/envs/ENVNAME/lib/python3.10/site-packages/autopep8.py

In case of anaconda, this will probably be

  • anaconda3/envs/ENVNAME/lib/python3.10/site-packages/autopep8.py

Additionally, E121 can be added in the ignore list in the autopep8.py
