How to create a script that will evenly distribute selected nodes?

I would like to create a script that would evenly distribute the locations of some selected nodes so that I can better organize my node trees. I'm seeking a script solution for this issue, instead of using Node Wrangler, because Node Wrangler functionality is not available in Animation Nodes.

I imagine script would function something like:

X = C.active_nodes
For nodes in X find locations of left_most_node_location and right_most_node_location
Set location of nodes to distance between left_most_node_location and right_most_node_location divided by the length of X

I'm not very good with Python, so I'm not really sure how I would write this for Blender.

Don't think you really need that. You can press: S + Y + 0 to align the nodes vertically. Also Node Wrangler comes with an Align Nodes button... – brockmann Mar 19 '19 at 17:21
@brockmann yes I know you can scale to align them but I would like to distribute their locations evenly – ANimator120 Mar 19 '19 at 17:22
Enable Node Wrangler (you'll need it anyway) and Align Nodes does what you want... – brockmann Mar 19 '19 at 17:24
@brockmann I'm seeking a script solution to this problem because I want to use the script in Animation Nodes, which is not compatible with Node Wrangler – ANimator120 Mar 19 '19 at 17:30
Aha... you should add that to your post @ANimator120. – brockmann Mar 19 '19 at 17:32
