Look's interesting, but I hesitate to use a Python formatting tool whose own code runs counter to well accepted Python stylistic guidelines -- namely "Use 4 spaces per indentation level." (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#indentation)
Without some examples from the author (or sinking time into installing/playing with it) it's pretty hard for me to tell what it's actually going to do with the code.
AutoPEP8 will generally intelligently pick between a standard hanging indent, a deep hanging indent, and an aligned indent. Does this not do so?
Edit: oh, I see. The author's code uses two spaces. Heh.
yapf is developed using an internal Google coding style. Please don't hold it against the project :-) Once you get used to the style, the code of yapf is very consistent in terms of style (it was formatted with yapf itself!) and should be easy to understand & work with.
It does support the PEP8 style out of the box, however.
^ that notes that you're referring to an internal style guide. Their external guide (which is the one I'd think I'd be following) is more PEP8-y.
You might consider renaming your "google" to "google-internal." But since Chromium appears to be the remaining big external-facing project using the old internal style, I'd suggest chromium vs. google vs. pep8. That would make more sense to the wider audience.

No option to change the line endings though, and it changes them all to Windows style.
It's under Python Style Rules | Indentation.

The other difference is naming style. Chromium uses CapWords instead of snake_case.
