16 *Black* is the uncompromising Python code formatter. By using it, you
17 agree to cede control over minutiae of hand-formatting. In return,
18 *Black* gives you speed, determinism, and freedom from `pycodestyle`
19 nagging about formatting. You will save time and mental energy for
20 more important matters.
22 Blackened code looks the same regardless of the project you're reading.
23 Formatting becomes transparent after a while and you can focus on the

45 ## Installation and usage
49 *Black* can be installed by running `pip install black`. It requires
50 Python 3.6.0+ to run but you can reformat Python 2 code with it, too.
55 To get started right away with sensible defaults:
58 black {source_file_or_directory}
61 ### Command line options
63 Black doesn't provide many options. You can list them by running
67 black [OPTIONS] [SRC]...
70 -l, --line-length INTEGER Where to wrap around. [default: 88]
71 --check Don't write the files back, just return the
72 status. Return code 0 means nothing would
73 change. Return code 1 means some files would be
74 reformatted. Return code 123 means there was an
76 --diff Don't write the files back, just output a diff
77 for each file on stdout.
78 --fast / --safe If --fast given, skip temporary sanity checks.
80 -q, --quiet Don't emit non-error messages to stderr. Errors
81 are still emitted, silence those with
83 --version Show the version and exit.
84 --help Show this message and exit.
87 *Black* is a well-behaved Unix-style command-line tool:
88 * it does nothing if no sources are passed to it;
89 * it will read from standard input and write to standard output if `-`
90 is used as the filename;
91 * it only outputs messages to users on standard error;
92 * exits with code 0 unless an internal error occurred (or `--check` was
96 ### NOTE: This is a beta product
98 *Black* is already successfully used by several projects, small and big.
99 It also sports a decent test suite. However, it is still very new.
100 Things will probably be wonky for a while. This is made explicit by the
101 "Beta" trove classifier, as well as by the "b" in the version number.
102 What this means for you is that **until the formatter becomes stable,
103 you should expect some formatting to change in the future**. That being
104 said, no drastic stylistic changes are planned, mostly responses to bug
107 Also, as a temporary safety measure, *Black* will check that the
108 reformatted code still produces a valid AST that is equivalent to the
109 original. This slows it down. If you're feeling confident, use
113 ## The *Black* code style
115 *Black* reformats entire files in place. It is not configurable. It
116 doesn't take previous formatting into account. It doesn't reformat
117 blocks that start with `# fmt: off` and end with `# fmt: on`. It also
118 recognizes [YAPF](https://github.com/google/yapf)'s block comments to
119 the same effect, as a courtesy for straddling code.
122 ### How *Black* wraps lines
124 *Black* ignores previous formatting and applies uniform horizontal
125 and vertical whitespace to your code. The rules for horizontal
126 whitespace can be summarized as: do whatever makes `pycodestyle` happy.
127 The coding style used by *Black* can be viewed as a strict subset of
130 As for vertical whitespace, *Black* tries to render one full expression
131 or simple statement per line. If this fits the allotted line length,
146 If not, *Black* will look at the contents of the first outer matching
147 brackets and put that in a separate indented line.
151 TracebackException.from_exception(exc, limit, lookup_lines, capture_locals)
155 TracebackException.from_exception(
156 exc, limit, lookup_lines, capture_locals
160 If that still doesn't fit the bill, it will decompose the internal
161 expression further using the same rule, indenting matching brackets
162 every time. If the contents of the matching brackets pair are
163 comma-separated (like an argument list, or a dict literal, and so on)
164 then *Black* will first try to keep them on the same line with the
165 matching brackets. If that doesn't work, it will put all of them in
170 def very_important_function(template: str, *variables, file: os.PathLike, debug: bool = False):
171 """Applies `variables` to the `template` and writes to `file`."""
172 with open(file, 'w') as f:
177 def very_important_function(
183 """Applies `variables` to the `template` and writes to `file`."""
184 with open(file, "w") as f:
188 You might have noticed that closing brackets are always dedented and
189 that a trailing comma is always added. Such formatting produces smaller
190 diffs; when you add or remove an element, it's always just one line.
191 Also, having the closing bracket dedented provides a clear delimiter
192 between two distinct sections of the code that otherwise share the same
193 indentation level (like the arguments list and the docstring in the
196 If a data structure literal (tuple, list, set, dict) or a line of "from"
197 imports cannot fit in the allotted length, it's always split into one
198 element per line. This minimizes diffs as well as enables readers of
199 code to find which commit introduced a particular entry. This also
200 makes *Black* compatible with [isort](https://pypi.org/p/isort/). Use
201 `multi_line_output=3`, `include_trailing_comma=True`,
202 `force_grid_wrap=0`, and `line_length=88` in your isort config.
207 You probably noticed the peculiar default line length. *Black* defaults
208 to 88 characters per line, which happens to be 10% over 80. This number
209 was found to produce significantly shorter files than sticking with 80
210 (the most popular), or even 79 (used by the standard library). In
211 general, [90-ish seems like the wise choice](https://youtu.be/wf-BqAjZb8M?t=260).
213 If you're paid by the line of code you write, you can pass
214 `--line-length` with a lower number. *Black* will try to respect that.
215 However, sometimes it won't be able to without breaking other rules. In
216 those rare cases, auto-formatted code will exceed your allotted limit.
218 You can also increase it, but remember that people with sight disabilities
219 find it harder to work with line lengths exceeding 100 characters.
220 It also adversely affects side-by-side diff review on typical screen
221 resolutions. Long lines also make it harder to present code neatly
222 in documentation or talk slides.
224 If you're using Flake8, you can bump `max-line-length` to 88 and forget
225 about it. Alternatively, use [Bugbear](https://github.com/PyCQA/flake8-bugbear)'s
226 B950 warning instead of E501 and keep the max line length at 80 which
227 you are probably already using. You'd do it like this:
232 select = C,E,F,W,B,B950
236 You'll find *Black*'s own .flake8 config file is configured like this.
237 If you're curious about the reasoning behind B950, Bugbear's documentation
238 explains it. The tl;dr is "it's like highway speed limits, we won't
239 bother you if you overdo it by a few km/h".
244 *Black* avoids spurious vertical whitespace. This is in the spirit of
245 PEP 8 which says that in-function vertical whitespace should only be
248 *Black* will allow single empty lines inside functions, and single and
249 double empty lines on module level left by the original editors, except
250 when they're within parenthesized expressions. Since such expressions
251 are always reformatted to fit minimal space, this whitespace is lost.
253 It will also insert proper spacing before and after function definitions.
254 It's one line before and after inner functions and two lines before and
255 after module-level functions. *Black* will not put empty lines between
256 function/class definitions and standalone comments that immediately precede
257 the given function/class.
262 *Black* will add trailing commas to expressions that are split
263 by comma where each element is on its own line. This includes function
266 Unnecessary trailing commas are removed if an expression fits in one
267 line. This makes it 1% more likely that your line won't exceed the
268 allotted line length limit. Moreover, in this scenario, if you added
269 another argument to your call, you'd probably fit it in the same line
270 anyway. That doesn't make diffs any larger.
272 One exception to removing trailing commas is tuple expressions with
273 just one element. In this case *Black* won't touch the single trailing
274 comma as this would unexpectedly change the underlying data type. Note
275 that this is also the case when commas are used while indexing. This is
276 a tuple in disguise: ```numpy_array[3, ]```.
278 One exception to adding trailing commas is function signatures
279 containing `*`, `*args`, or `**kwargs`. In this case a trailing comma
280 is only safe to use on Python 3.6. *Black* will detect if your file is
281 already 3.6+ only and use trailing commas in this situation. If you
282 wonder how it knows, it looks for f-strings and existing use of trailing
283 commas in function signatures that have stars in them. In other words,
284 if you'd like a trailing comma in this situation and *Black* didn't
285 recognize it was safe to do so, put it there manually and *Black* will
291 *Black* prefers double quotes (`"` and `"""`) over single quotes (`'`
292 and `'''`). It will replace the latter with the former as long as it
293 does not result in more backslash escapes than before.
295 *Black* also standardizes string prefixes, making them always lowercase.
296 On top of that, if your code is already Python 3.6+ only or it's using
297 the `unicode_literals` future import, *Black* will remove `u` from the
298 string prefix as it is meaningless in those scenarios.
300 The main reason to standardize on a single form of quotes is aesthetics.
301 Having one kind of quotes everywhere reduces reader distraction.
302 It will also enable a future version of *Black* to merge consecutive
303 string literals that ended up on the same line (see
304 [#26](https://github.com/ambv/black/issues/26) for details).
306 Why settle on double quotes? They anticipate apostrophes in English
307 text. They match the docstring standard described in PEP 257. An
308 empty string in double quotes (`""`) is impossible to confuse with
309 a one double-quote regardless of fonts and syntax highlighting used.
310 On top of this, double quotes for strings are consistent with C which
311 Python interacts a lot with.
313 On certain keyboard layouts like US English, typing single quotes is
314 a bit easier than double quotes. The latter requires use of the Shift
315 key. My recommendation here is to keep using whatever is faster to type
316 and let *Black* handle the transformation.
319 ### Line breaks & binary operators
321 *Black* will break a line before a binary operator when splitting a block
322 of code over multiple lines. This is so that *Black* is compliant with the
323 recent changes in the [PEP 8](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#should-a-line-break-before-or-after-a-binary-operator)
324 style guide, which emphasizes that this approach improves readability.
326 This behaviour may raise ``W503 line break before binary operator`` warnings in
327 style guide enforcement tools like Flake8. Since ``W503`` is not PEP 8 compliant,
328 you should tell Flake8 to ignore these warnings.
333 PEP 8 [recommends](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#whitespace-in-expressions-and-statements)
334 to treat ``:`` in slices as a binary operator with the lowest priority, and to
335 leave an equal amount of space on either side, except if a parameter is omitted
336 (e.g. ``ham[1 + 1 :]``). It also states that for extended slices, both ``:``
337 operators have to have the same amount of spacing, except if a parameter is
338 omitted (``ham[1 + 1 ::]``). *Black* enforces these rules consistently.
340 This behaviour may raise ``E203 whitespace before ':'`` warnings in style guide
341 enforcement tools like Flake8. Since ``E203`` is not PEP 8 compliant, you should
342 tell Flake8 to ignore these warnings.
347 Some parentheses are optional in the Python grammar. Any expression can
348 be wrapped in a pair of parentheses to form an atom. There are a few
353 - `for (...) in (...):`
354 - `assert (...), (...)`
355 - `from X import (...)`
358 - `target: type = (...)`
359 - `some, *un, packing = (...)`
360 - `augmented += (...)`
362 In those cases, parentheses are removed when the entire statement fits
363 in one line, or if the inner expression doesn't have any delimiters to
364 further split on. If there is only a single delimiter and the expression
365 starts or ends with a bracket, the parenthesis can also be successfully
366 omitted since the existing bracket pair will organize the expression
367 neatly anyway. Otherwise, the parentheses are added.
369 Please note that *Black* does not add or remove any additional nested
370 parentheses that you might want to have for clarity or further
371 code organization. For example those parentheses are not going to be
374 return not (this or that)
375 decision = (maybe.this() and values > 0) or (maybe.that() and values < 0)
381 Some popular APIs, like ORMs, use call chaining. This API style is known
382 as a [fluent interface](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluent_interface).
383 *Black* formats those treating dots that follow a call or an indexing
384 operation like a very low priority delimiter. It's easier to show the
385 behavior than to explain it. Look at the example:
387 def example(session):
389 session.query(models.Customer.id)
391 models.Customer.account_id == account_id,
392 models.Customer.email == email_address,
394 .order_by(models.Customer.id.asc())
400 ### Typing stub files
402 PEP 484 describes the syntax for type hints in Python. One of the
403 use cases for typing is providing type annotations for modules which
404 cannot contain them directly (they might be written in C, or they might
405 be third-party, or their implementation may be overly dynamic, and so on).
407 To solve this, [stub files with the `.pyi` file
408 extension](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0484/#stub-files) can be
409 used to describe typing information for an external module. Those stub
410 files omit the implementation of classes and functions they
411 describe, instead they only contain the structure of the file (listing
412 globals, functions, and classes with their members). The recommended
413 code style for those files is more terse than PEP 8:
415 * prefer `...` on the same line as the class/function signature;
416 * avoid vertical whitespace between consecutive module-level functions,
417 names, or methods and fields within a single class;
418 * use a single blank line between top-level class definitions, or none
419 if the classes are very small.
421 *Black* enforces the above rules. There are additional guidelines for
422 formatting `.pyi` file that are not enforced yet but might be in
423 a future version of the formatter:
425 * all function bodies should be empty (contain `...` instead of the body);
426 * do not use docstrings;
427 * prefer `...` over `pass`;
428 * for arguments with a default, use `...` instead of the actual default;
429 * avoid using string literals in type annotations, stub files support
430 forward references natively (like Python 3.7 code with `from __future__
431 import annotations`);
432 * use variable annotations instead of type comments, even for stubs that
433 target older versions of Python;
434 * for arguments that default to `None`, use `Optional[]` explicitly;
435 * use `float` instead of `Union[int, float]`.
438 ## Editor integration
442 Use [proofit404/blacken](https://github.com/proofit404/blacken).
453 2. Locate your `black` installation folder.
455 On macOS / Linux / BSD:
459 /usr/local/bin/black # possible location
466 %LocalAppData%\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts\black.exe # possible location
469 3. Open External tools in PyCharm with `File -> Settings -> Tools -> External Tools`.
471 4. Click the + icon to add a new external tool with the following values:
473 - Description: Black is the uncompromising Python code formatter.
474 - Program: <install_location_from_step_2>
475 - Arguments: $FilePath$
477 5. Format the currently opened file by selecting `Tools -> External Tools -> black`.
478 - Alternatively, you can set a keyboard shortcut by navigating to `Preferences -> Keymap`.
483 Commands and shortcuts:
485 * `,=` or `:Black` to format the entire file (ranges not supported);
486 * `:BlackUpgrade` to upgrade *Black* inside the virtualenv;
487 * `:BlackVersion` to get the current version of *Black* inside the
491 * `g:black_fast` (defaults to `0`)
492 * `g:black_linelength` (defaults to `88`)
493 * `g:black_virtualenv` (defaults to `~/.vim/black`)
495 To install with [vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug):
501 or with [Vundle](https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim):
507 or you can copy the plugin from [plugin/black.vim](https://github.com/ambv/black/tree/master/plugin/black.vim).
508 Let me know if this requires any changes to work with Vim 8's builtin
509 `packadd`, or Pathogen, and so on.
511 This plugin **requires Vim 7.0+ built with Python 3.6+ support**. It
512 needs Python 3.6 to be able to run *Black* inside the Vim process which
513 is much faster than calling an external command.
515 On first run, the plugin creates its own virtualenv using the right
516 Python version and automatically installs *Black*. You can upgrade it later
517 by calling `:BlackUpgrade` and restarting Vim.
519 If you need to do anything special to make your virtualenv work and
520 install *Black* (for example you want to run a version from master),
521 create a virtualenv manually and point `g:black_virtualenv` to it.
522 The plugin will use it.
524 **How to get Vim with Python 3.6?**
525 On Ubuntu 17.10 Vim comes with Python 3.6 by default.
526 On macOS with Homebrew run: `brew install vim --with-python3`.
527 When building Vim from source, use:
528 `./configure --enable-python3interp=yes`. There's many guides online how
532 ### Visual Studio Code
534 Use [joslarson.black-vscode](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=joslarson.black-vscode).
539 Use [sublack plugin](https://github.com/jgirardet/sublack).
542 ### IPython Notebook Magic
544 Use [blackcellmagic](https://github.com/csurfer/blackcellmagic).
549 Atom/Nuclide integration is planned by the author, others will
550 require external contributions.
552 Patches welcome! ✨ 🍰 ✨
554 Any tool that can pipe code through *Black* using its stdio mode (just
555 [use `-` as the file name](http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/special-chars.html#DASHREF2)).
556 The formatted code will be returned on stdout (unless `--check` was
557 passed). *Black* will still emit messages on stderr but that shouldn't
558 affect your use case.
560 This can be used for example with PyCharm's [File Watchers](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/file-watchers.html).
563 ## Version control integration
565 Use [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/). Once you [have it
566 installed](https://pre-commit.com/#install), add this to the
567 `.pre-commit-config.yaml` in your repository:
570 - repo: https://github.com/ambv/black
574 args: [--line-length=88, --safe]
575 python_version: python3.6
577 Then run `pre-commit install` and you're ready to go.
579 `args` in the above config is optional but shows you how you can change
580 the line length if you really need to. If you're already using Python
581 3.7, switch the `python_version` accordingly. Finally, `stable` is a tag
582 that is pinned to the latest release on PyPI. If you'd rather run on
583 master, this is also an option.
586 ## Ignoring unmodified files
588 *Black* remembers files it has already formatted, unless the `--diff` flag is used or
589 code is passed via standard input. This information is stored per-user. The exact
590 location of the file depends on the black version and the system on which black
591 is run. The file is non-portable. The standard location on common operating systems
594 * Windows: `C:\\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\black\black\Cache\<version>\cache.<line-length>.pickle`
595 * macOS: `/Users/<username>/Library/Caches/black/<version>/cache.<line-length>.pickle`
596 * Linux: `/home/<username>/.cache/black/<version>/cache.<line-length>.pickle`

636 ## Contributing to Black
638 In terms of inspiration, *Black* is about as configurable as *gofmt*.
641 Bug reports and fixes are always welcome! However, before you suggest a
642 new feature or configuration knob, ask yourself why you want it. If it
643 enables better integration with some workflow, fixes an inconsistency,
644 speeds things up, and so on - go for it! On the other hand, if your
645 answer is "because I don't like a particular formatting" then you're not
646 ready to embrace *Black* yet. Such changes are unlikely to get accepted.
647 You can still try but prepare to be disappointed.

700 unpacking. This fixed non-deterministic formatting if trailing commas
701 where used both in function signatures with stars and function calls
702 with stars but the former would be reformatted to a single line.
704 * fixed crash on dealing with optional parentheses (#193)
706 * fixed "is", "is not", "in", and "not in" not considered operators for
709 * fixed crash when dead symlinks where encountered
714 * don't populate the cache on `--check` (#175)
719 * added a "cache"; files already reformatted that haven't changed on disk
720 won't be reformatted again (#109)
722 * `--check` and `--diff` are no longer mutually exclusive (#149)
724 * generalized star expression handling, including double stars; this
725 fixes multiplication making expressions "unsafe" for trailing commas (#132)
727 * Black no longer enforces putting empty lines behind control flow statements
730 * Black now splits imports like "Mode 3 + trailing comma" of isort (#127)
732 * fixed comment indentation when a standalone comment closes a block (#16, #32)
734 * fixed standalone comments receiving extra empty lines if immediately preceding
735 a class, def, or decorator (#56, #154)
737 * fixed `--diff` not showing entire path (#130)
739 * fixed parsing of complex expressions after star and double stars in
742 * fixed invalid splitting on comma in lambda arguments (#133)
744 * fixed missing splits of ternary expressions (#141)
749 * fixed parsing of unaligned standalone comments (#99, #112)
751 * fixed placement of dictionary unpacking inside dictionary literals (#111)
753 * Vim plugin now works on Windows, too
755 * fixed unstable formatting when encountering unnecessarily escaped quotes
761 * added `--quiet` (#78)
763 * added automatic parentheses management (#4)
765 * added [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com) integration (#103, #104)
767 * fixed reporting on `--check` with multiple files (#101, #102)
769 * fixed removing backslash escapes from raw strings (#100, #105)
774 * added `--diff` (#87)
776 * add line breaks before all delimiters, except in cases like commas, to
777 better comply with PEP 8 (#73)
779 * standardize string literals to use double quotes (almost) everywhere
782 * fixed handling of standalone comments within nested bracketed
783 expressions; Black will no longer produce super long lines or put all
784 standalone comments at the end of the expression (#22)
786 * fixed 18.3a4 regression: don't crash and burn on empty lines with
787 trailing whitespace (#80)
789 * fixed 18.3a4 regression: `# yapf: disable` usage as trailing comment
790 would cause Black to not emit the rest of the file (#95)
792 * when CTRL+C is pressed while formatting many files, Black no longer
793 freaks out with a flurry of asyncio-related exceptions
795 * only allow up to two empty lines on module level and only single empty
796 lines within functions (#74)
801 * `# fmt: off` and `# fmt: on` are implemented (#5)
803 * automatic detection of deprecated Python 2 forms of print statements
804 and exec statements in the formatted file (#49)
806 * use proper spaces for complex expressions in default values of typed
807 function arguments (#60)
809 * only return exit code 1 when --check is used (#50)
811 * don't remove single trailing commas from square bracket indexing
814 * don't omit whitespace if the previous factor leaf wasn't a math
817 * omit extra space in kwarg unpacking if it's the first argument (#46)
819 * omit extra space in [Sphinx auto-attribute comments](http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/ext/autodoc.html#directive-autoattribute)
825 * don't remove single empty lines outside of bracketed expressions
828 * added ability to pipe formatting from stdin to stdin (#25)
830 * restored ability to format code with legacy usage of `async` as
833 * even better handling of numpy-style array indexing (#33, again)
838 * changed positioning of binary operators to occur at beginning of lines
839 instead of at the end, following [a recent change to PEP8](https://github.com/python/peps/commit/c59c4376ad233a62ca4b3a6060c81368bd21e85b)
842 * ignore empty bracket pairs while splitting. This avoids very weirdly
843 looking formattings (#34, #35)
845 * remove a trailing comma if there is a single argument to a call
847 * if top level functions were separated by a comment, don't put four
848 empty lines after the upper function
850 * fixed unstable formatting of newlines with imports
852 * fixed unintentional folding of post scriptum standalone comments
853 into last statement if it was a simple statement (#18, #28)
855 * fixed missing space in numpy-style array indexing (#33)
857 * fixed spurious space after star-based unary expressions (#31)
864 * only put trailing commas in function signatures and calls if it's
865 safe to do so. If the file is Python 3.6+ it's always safe, otherwise
866 only safe if there are no `*args` or `**kwargs` used in the signature
869 * fixed invalid spacing of dots in relative imports (#6, #13)
871 * fixed invalid splitting after comma on unpacked variables in for-loops
874 * fixed spurious space in parenthesized set expressions (#7)
876 * fixed spurious space after opening parentheses and in default
879 * fixed spurious space after unary operators when the operand was
880 a complex expression (#15)
885 * first published version, Happy 🍰 Day 2018!
889 * date-versioned (see: https://calver.org/)
