18
19 _Black_ is the uncompromising Python code formatter. By using it, you agree to cede
20 control over minutiae of hand-formatting. In return, _Black_ gives you speed,
21 determinism, and freedom from `pycodestyle` nagging about formatting. You will save time
22 and mental energy for more important matters.
23
24 Blackened code looks the same regardless of the project you're reading. Formatting
25 becomes transparent after a while and you can focus on the content instead.
26
27 _Black_ makes code review faster by producing the smallest diffs possible.

30 [PyCon 2019 talk](https://youtu.be/esZLCuWs_2Y) to learn more.

38 ## Installation and usage
39
40 ### Installation
41
42 _Black_ can be installed by running `pip install black`. It requires Python 3.6.2+ to
43 run. If you want to format Python 2 code as well, install with
44 `pip install black[python2]`. If you want to format Jupyter Notebooks, install with
45 `pip install black[jupyter]`.
46
47 If you can't wait for the latest _hotness_ and want to install from GitHub, use:
48
49 `pip install git+git://github.com/psf/black`
50
51 ### Usage
52
53 To get started right away with sensible defaults:
54
55 ```sh
56 black {source_file_or_directory}
57 ```
58
59 You can run _Black_ as a package if running it as a script doesn't work:
60
61 ```sh
62 python -m black {source_file_or_directory}
63 ```
64
65 Further information can be found in our docs:
66
67 - [Usage and Configuration](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage_and_configuration/index.html)
68
69 ### NOTE: This is a beta product
70
71 _Black_ is already [successfully used](https://github.com/psf/black#used-by) by many
72 projects, small and big. Black has a comprehensive test suite, with efficient parallel
73 tests, and our own auto formatting and parallel Continuous Integration runner. However,
74 _Black_ is still beta. Things will probably be wonky for a while. This is made explicit
75 by the "Beta" trove classifier, as well as by the "b" in the version number. What this
76 means for you is that **until the formatter becomes stable, you should expect some
77 formatting to change in the future**. That being said, no drastic stylistic changes are
78 planned, mostly responses to bug reports.
79
80 Also, as a safety measure which slows down processing, _Black_ will check that the
81 reformatted code still produces a valid AST that is effectively equivalent to the
82 original (see the
83 [Pragmatism](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/the_black_code_style/current_style.html#ast-before-and-after-formatting)
84 section for details). If you're feeling confident, use `--fast`.
85
86 ## The _Black_ code style
87
88 _Black_ is a PEP 8 compliant opinionated formatter. _Black_ reformats entire files in
89 place. Style configuration options are deliberately limited and rarely added. It doesn't
90 take previous formatting into account (see [Pragmatism](#pragmatism) for exceptions).
91
92 Our documentation covers the current _Black_ code style, but planned changes to it are
93 also documented. They're both worth taking a look:
94
95 - [The _Black_ Code Style: Current style](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/the_black_code_style/current_style.html)
96 - [The _Black_ Code Style: Future style](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/the_black_code_style/future_style.html)
97
98 Please refer to this document before submitting an issue. What seems like a bug might be
99 intended behaviour.
100
101 ### Pragmatism
102
103 Early versions of _Black_ used to be absolutist in some respects. They took after its
104 initial author. This was fine at the time as it made the implementation simpler and
105 there were not many users anyway. Not many edge cases were reported. As a mature tool,
106 _Black_ does make some exceptions to rules it otherwise holds.
107
108 - [The _Black_ code style: Pragmatism](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/the_black_code_style/current_style.html#pragmatism)
109
110 Please refer to this document before submitting an issue just like with the document
111 above. What seems like a bug might be intended behaviour.
112
113 ## Configuration
114
115 _Black_ is able to read project-specific default values for its command line options
116 from a `pyproject.toml` file. This is especially useful for specifying custom
117 `--include` and `--exclude`/`--force-exclude`/`--extend-exclude` patterns for your
118 project.
119
120 You can find more details in our documentation:
121
122 - [The basics: Configuration via a file](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage_and_configuration/the_basics.html#configuration-via-a-file)
123
124 And if you're looking for more general configuration documentation:
125
126 - [Usage and Configuration](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage_and_configuration/index.html)
127
128 **Pro-tip**: If you're asking yourself "Do I need to configure anything?" the answer is
129 "No". _Black_ is all about sensible defaults. Applying those defaults will have your
130 code in compliance with many other _Black_ formatted projects.
131

219 ## Code of Conduct
220
221 Everyone participating in the _Black_ project, and in particular in the issue tracker,
222 pull requests, and social media activity, is expected to treat other people with respect
223 and more generally to follow the guidelines articulated in the
224 [Python Community Code of Conduct](https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/).
225
226 At the same time, humor is encouraged. In fact, basic familiarity with Monty Python's
227 Flying Circus is expected. We are not savages.
228
229 And if you _really_ need to slap somebody, do it with a fish while dancing.
