automated python / js refactoring for ocap discipline

[dckc]

https://github.com/kensanata/mastodon-archive is a typical python project.

idea: teach aider about DisciplinedPython and have it refactor the code.

even crazier idea: interpret python ASTs using guile macros a la

• run james using scheme macros (counter example) cwebber/rockit#4

aider was tripping over PEP8 lint; I'm inclined to start again after using autopep8.

I think LLMs (and humans) would benefit from a bunch of examples like the airbnb JS style guide:

// bad
import os

def main():
    os.xyz()

// good
def main(xyz):
    xyz()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    def _script():
        from os import xyz
        main(xyz=xyz)
    _script()

TODO: restore CapPython to working order; use it to give feedback to LLMs.
