1 # _Black_ compatible configurations
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
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.
13 Compatible configuration files can be
14 [found here](https://github.com/psf/black/blob/master/docs/compatible_configs/).
18 [isort](https://pypi.org/p/isort/) helps to sort and format imports in your Python code.
19 _Black_ also formats imports, but in a different way from isort's defaults which leads
20 to conflicting changes.
26 include_trailing_comma = True
28 use_parentheses = True
29 ensure_newline_before_comments = True
33 ### Why those options above?
35 _Black_ wraps imports that surpass `line-length` by moving identifiers into their own
36 indented line. If that still doesn't fit the bill, it will put all of them in separate
37 lines and put a trailing comma. A more detailed explanation of this behaviour can be
38 [found here](https://github.com/psf/black/blob/master/docs/the_black_code_style.md#how-black-wraps-lines).
40 isort's default mode of wrapping imports that extend past the `line_length` limit is
44 from third_party import (lib1, lib2, lib3,
48 This style is incompatible with _Black_, but isort can be configured to use a different
49 wrapping mode called "Vertical Hanging Indent" which looks like this:
52 from third_party import (
60 This style is _Black_ compatible and can be achieved by `multi-line-output = 3`. Also,
61 as mentioned above, when wrapping long imports _Black_ puts a trailing comma and uses
62 parentheses. isort should follow the same behaviour and passing the options
63 `include_trailing_comma = True` and `use_parentheses = True` configures that.
65 The option `force_grid_wrap = 0` is just to tell isort to only wrap imports that surpass
66 the `line_length` limit.
68 Finally, isort should be told to wrap imports when they surpass _Black_'s default limit
69 of 88 characters via `line_length = 88` as well as
70 `ensure_newline_before_comments = True` to ensure spacing import sections with comments
71 works the same as with _Black_.
73 **Please note** `ensure_newline_before_comments = True` only works since isort >= 5 but
74 does not break older versions so you can keep it if you are running previous versions.
75 If only isort >= 5 is used you can add `profile = black` instead of all the options
76 since [profiles](https://timothycrosley.github.io/isort/docs/configuration/profiles/)
77 are available and do the configuring for you.

143 [Flake8](https://pypi.org/p/flake8/) is a code linter. It warns you of syntax errors,
144 possible bugs, stylistic errors, etc. For the most part, Flake8 follows
145 [PEP 8](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/) when warning about stylistic errors.
146 There are a few deviations that cause incompatibilities with _Black_.
155 ### Why those options above?
157 In some cases, as determined by PEP 8, _Black_ will enforce an equal amount of
158 whitespace around slice operators. Due to this, Flake8 will raise
159 `E203 whitespace before ':'` warnings. Since this warning is not PEP 8 compliant, Flake8
160 should be configured to ignore it via `extend-ignore = E203`.
162 When breaking a line, _Black_ will break it before a binary operator. This is compliant
164 [April 2016](https://github.com/python/peps/commit/c59c4376ad233a62ca4b3a6060c81368bd21e85b#diff-64ec08cc46db7540f18f2af46037f599).
165 There's a disabled-by-default warning in Flake8 which goes against this PEP 8
166 recommendation called `W503 line break before binary operator`. It should not be enabled
167 in your configuration.
169 Also, as like with isort, flake8 should be configured to allow lines up to the length
170 limit of `88`, _Black_'s default. This explains `max-line-length = 88`.

209 [Pylint](https://pypi.org/p/pylint/) is also a code linter like Flake8. It has the same
210 checks as flake8 and more. In particular, it has more formatting checks regarding style
211 conventions like variable naming. With so many checks, Pylint is bound to have some
212 mixed feelings about _Black_'s formatting style.
217 disable = C0330, C0326
221 ### Why those options above?
223 When _Black_ is folding very long expressions, the closing brackets will
224 [be dedented](https://github.com/psf/black/blob/master/docs/the_black_code_style.md#how-black-wraps-lines).
227 ImportantClass.important_method(
228 exc, limit, lookup_lines, capture_locals, callback
232 Although, this style is PEP 8 compliant, Pylint will raise
233 `C0330: Wrong hanging indentation before block (add 4 spaces)` warnings. Since _Black_
234 isn't configurable on this style, Pylint should be told to ignore these warnings via
237 Also, since _Black_ deals with whitespace around operators and brackets, Pylint's
238 warning `C0326: Bad whitespace` should be disabled using `disable = C0326`.
240 And as usual, Pylint should be configured to only complain about lines that surpass `88`
241 characters via `max-line-length = 88`.
