1 # _Black_ compatible configurations
2
3 All of Black's changes are harmless (or at least, they should be), but a few do conflict
4 against other tools. It is not uncommon to be using other tools alongside _Black_ like
5 linters and type checkers. Some of them need a bit of tweaking to resolve the conflicts.
6 Listed below are _Black_ compatible configurations in various formats for the common
7 tools out there.
8
9 **Please note** that _Black_ only supports the TOML file format for its configuration
10 (e.g. `pyproject.toml`). The provided examples are to only configure their corresponding
11 tools, using **their** supported file formats.
12
13 ## isort
14
15 [isort](https://pypi.org/p/isort/) helps to sort and format imports in your Python code.
16 _Black_ also formats imports, but in a different way from isort's defaults which leads
17 to conflicting changes.
18
19 ### Configuration
20
21 ```
22 multi_line_output = 3
23 include_trailing_comma = True
24 force_grid_wrap = 0
25 use_parentheses = True
26 line_length = 88
27 ```
28
29 ### Why those options above?
30
31 _Black_ wraps imports that surpass `line-length` by moving identifiers into their own
32 indented line. If that still doesn't fit the bill, it will put all of them in separate
33 lines and put a trailing comma. A more detailed explanation of this behaviour can be
34 [found here](https://github.com/psf/black#how-black-wraps-lines).
35
36 isort's default mode of wrapping imports that extend past the `line_length` limit is
37 "Grid".
38
39 ```py3
40 from third_party import (lib1, lib2, lib3,
41                          lib4, lib5, ...)
42 ```
43
44 This style is incompatible with _Black_, but isort can be configured to use a different
45 wrapping mode called "Vertical Hanging Indent" which looks like this:
46
47 ```py3
48 from third_party import (
49     lib1,
50     lib2,
51     lib3,
52     lib4,
53 )
54 ```
55
56 This style is _Black_ compatible and can be achieved by `multi-line-output = 3`. Also,
57 as mentioned above, when wrapping long imports _Black_ puts a trailing comma and uses
58 parentheses. isort should follow the same behaviour and passing the options
59 `include_trailing_comma = True` and `use_parentheses = True` configures that.
60
61 The option `force_grid_wrap = 0` is just to tell isort to only wrap imports that surpass
62 the `line_length` limit.
63
64 Finally, isort should be told to wrap imports when they surpass _Black_'s default limit
65 of 88 characters via `line_length = 88`.

125 ## Flake8
126
127 [Flake8](https://pypi.org/p/flake8/) is a code linter. It warns you of syntax errors,
128 possible bugs, stylistic errors, etc. For the most part, Flake8 follows
129 [PEP 8](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/) when warning about stylistic errors.
130 There are a few deviations that cause incompatibilities with _Black_.
131
132 ### Configuration
133
134 ```
135 max-line-length = 88
136 extend-ignore = E203, W503
137 ```
138
139 ### Why those options above?
140
141 When breaking a line, _Black_ will break it before a binary operator. This is compliant
142 with PEP 8, but this behaviour will cause flake8 to raise
143 `W503 line break before binary operator` warnings.
144
145 In some cases, as determined by PEP 8, _Black_ will enforce an equal amount of
146 whitespace around slice operators. Due to this, Flake8 will raise
147 `E203 whitespace before ':'` warnings.
148
149 Since both of these warnings are not PEP 8 compliant, Flake8 should be configured to
150 ignore these warnings via `extend-ignore = E203, W503`.
151
152 Also, as like with isort, flake8 should be configured to allow lines up to the length
153 limit of `88`, _Black_'s default. This explains `max-line-length = 88`.

190 ## Pylint
191
192 [Pylint](https://pypi.org/p/pylint/) is also a code linter like Flake8. It has the same
193 checks as flake8 and more. In particular, it has more formatting checks regarding style
194 conventions like variable naming. With so many checks, Pylint is bound to have some
195 mixed feelings about _Black_'s formatting style.
196
197 ### Configuration
198
199 ```
200 disable = C0330, C0326
201 max-line-length = 88
202 ```
203
204 ### Why those options above?
205
206 When _Black_ is folding very long expressions, the closing brackets will
207 [be dedented](https://github.com/psf/black#how-black-wraps-lines).
208
209 ```py3
210 ImportantClass.important_method(
211     exc, limit, lookup_lines, capture_locals, callback
212 )
213 ```
214
215 Although, this style is PEP 8 compliant, Pylint will raise
216 `C0330: Wrong hanging indentation before block (add 4 spaces)` warnings. Since _Black_
217 isn't configurable on this style, Pylint should be told to ignore these warnings via
218 `disable = C0330`.
219
220 Also, since _Black_ deals with whitespace around operators and brackets, Pylint's
221 warning `C0326: Bad whitespace` should be disabled using `disable = C0326`.
222
223 And as usual, Pylint should be configured to only complain about lines that surpass `88`
224 characters via `max-line-length = 88`.
