Provide a way to ignore recursive.

[Karthik Nadig]

There is no way to turn off recursive when running from using standard input. This is an issue for VS Code extension trying to run autopep8 on unsaved files which have to use the stdin to format before saving.

---

Command Line and Configuration

.pep8, setup.cfg, ...

[tool.autopep8]
recursive = true

Command Line

python.exe -m autopep8 --max-line-length=120 -
--recursive cannot be used with standard input

Your Environment

• Python version: 3.11
• autopep8 version: 2.0.0
• Platform: windows

The same goes for if there is in-place = true in the config. The VSCode extension just doesn't do anything if either option is present in the config: no formatting and no error.
