I've not messed with it myself, but take a look at beancount's `beancount/scripts/format.py`, The `main` function from this is what's called in bean-format. It looks like it just reads the specified file, formats it with the function `align_beancount` (also in format.py), then writes what that returns. You could apply that function to your importer's output text before writing it.
