Format on save: add two blank lines above code cells

I’d like interactive files to always have two empty lines above each code cell (except maybe following imports since isort forces a single line there). On save, this

# %%
import numpy as np
# %%
arr = np.arange(20)
# %%
print(arr)




# %%
arr.reshape(4, 5)

should turn into

# %%
import numpy as np

# %%
arr = np.arange(20)


# %%
print(arr)


# %%
arr.reshape(4, 5)

Could this become part of the Python (or Jupyter) extension?

Thanks for the suggestion! We talked about it with the team and we have unfortunately decided we will not be moving forward with this idea. We think there isn’t an enough widespread need for this to warrant the maintenance cost for the feature.
