How do you format python code in Visual Studio Code?

Question

Opened a ticket with AutoPep8, but when I installed the autopep8 extension, it doesn't seem to find the module. When I change the config to tell it where it is a format doesn't do anything. Formating in terminal does however. Any ideas? https://github.com/hhatto/autopep8/issues/349#issuecomment-335662565
