Formatting always occurs on save.

Expected behavior

Some mechanism to exclude a file from autoformatting on save.

e.g. # "editor.formatOnSave": false at the top of the file to exclude.

Can I ask what is the use-case. Why do you want to format some files but not others in the same workspace?

[ivavid]

The file is used for debugging and will eventually be removed. It contains a rather large number of function calls that contain long strings. Calls are frequently added/removed/changed. I would prefer to keep them on one line each instead of having them split on five separate lines, as is the case.

A block level disable would be most useful, similar to pylint.

You can now use the command Save Without Formatting in the new release of VS Code.

Considering a solution is available in VS Code, we're reluctant to provide a custom solution in the Python Extension at this stage. Hence I'm closing this issue.
