11 ## PyCharm/IntelliJ IDEA
19 2. Locate your `black` installation folder.
21 On macOS / Linux / BSD:
25 /usr/local/bin/black # possible location
32 %LocalAppData%\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts\black.exe # possible location
35 Note that if you are using a virtual environment detected by PyCharm, this is an
36 unneeded step. In this case the path to `black` is `$PyInterpreterDirectory$/black`.
38 3. Open External tools in PyCharm/IntelliJ IDEA
42 `PyCharm -> Preferences -> Tools -> External Tools`
44 On Windows / Linux / BSD:
46 `File -> Settings -> Tools -> External Tools`
48 4. Click the + icon to add a new external tool with the following values:
51 - Description: Black is the uncompromising Python code formatter.
52 - Program: <install_location_from_step_2>
53 - Arguments: `"$FilePath$"`
55 5. Format the currently opened file by selecting `Tools -> External Tools -> black`.
57 - Alternatively, you can set a keyboard shortcut by navigating to
58 `Preferences or Settings -> Keymap -> External Tools -> External Tools - Black`.
60 6. Optionally, run _Black_ on every file save:
62 1. Make sure you have the
63 [File Watchers](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7177-file-watchers) plugin
65 2. Go to `Preferences or Settings -> Tools -> File Watchers` and click `+` to add a
69 - Scope: Project Files
70 - Program: <install_location_from_step_2>
71 - Arguments: `$FilePath$`
72 - Output paths to refresh: `$FilePath$`
73 - Working directory: `$ProjectFileDir$`
76 - Uncheck "Auto-save edited files to trigger the watcher"
77 - Uncheck "Trigger the watcher on external changes"
81 Wing supports black via the OS Commands tool, as explained in the Wing documentation on
82 [pep8 formatting](https://wingware.com/doc/edit/pep8). The detailed procedure is:
90 2. Make sure it runs from the command line, e.g.
96 3. In Wing IDE, activate the **OS Commands** panel and define the command **black** to
97 execute black on the currently selected file:
99 - Use the Tools -> OS Commands menu selection
100 - click on **+** in **OS Commands** -> New: Command line..
102 - Command Line: black %s
103 - I/O Encoding: Use Default
105 - [x] Raise OS Commands when executed
106 - [x] Auto-save files before execution
109 4. Select a file in the editor and press **F1** , or whatever key binding you selected
110 in step 3, to reformat the file.
114 Commands and shortcuts:
116 - `:Black` to format the entire file (ranges not supported);
117 - `:BlackUpgrade` to upgrade _Black_ inside the virtualenv;
118 - `:BlackVersion` to get the current version of _Black_ inside the virtualenv.
122 - `g:black_fast` (defaults to `0`)
123 - `g:black_linelength` (defaults to `88`)
124 - `g:black_skip_string_normalization` (defaults to `0`)
125 - `g:black_virtualenv` (defaults to `~/.vim/black` or `~/.local/share/nvim/black`)
126 - `g:black_quiet` (defaults to `0`)
128 To install with [vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug):
131 Plug 'psf/black', { 'branch': 'stable' }
134 or with [Vundle](https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim):
140 and execute the following in a terminal:
143 $ cd ~/.vim/bundle/black
144 $ git checkout origin/stable -b stable
147 or you can copy the plugin from
148 [plugin/black.vim](https://github.com/psf/black/blob/stable/plugin/black.vim).
151 mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/python/start/black/plugin
152 curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/psf/black/stable/plugin/black.vim -o ~/.vim/pack/python/start/black/plugin/black.vim
155 Let me know if this requires any changes to work with Vim 8's builtin `packadd`, or
158 This plugin **requires Vim 7.0+ built with Python 3.6+ support**. It needs Python 3.6 to
159 be able to run _Black_ inside the Vim process which is much faster than calling an
162 On first run, the plugin creates its own virtualenv using the right Python version and
163 automatically installs _Black_. You can upgrade it later by calling `:BlackUpgrade` and
166 If you need to do anything special to make your virtualenv work and install _Black_ (for
167 example you want to run a version from master), create a virtualenv manually and point
168 `g:black_virtualenv` to it. The plugin will use it.
170 To run _Black_ on save, add the following line to `.vimrc` or `init.vim`:
173 autocmd BufWritePre *.py execute ':Black'
176 To run _Black_ on a key press (e.g. F9 below), add this:
179 nnoremap <F9> :Black<CR>
182 **How to get Vim with Python 3.6?** On Ubuntu 17.10 Vim comes with Python 3.6 by
183 default. On macOS with Homebrew run: `brew install vim`. When building Vim from source,
184 use: `./configure --enable-python3interp=yes`. There's many guides online how to do
187 **I get an import error when using _Black_ from a virtual environment**: If you get an
188 error message like this:
191 Traceback (most recent call last):
192 File "<string>", line 63, in <module>
193 File "/home/gui/.vim/black/lib/python3.7/site-packages/black.py", line 45, in <module>
194 from typed_ast import ast3, ast27
195 File "/home/gui/.vim/black/lib/python3.7/site-packages/typed_ast/ast3.py", line 40, in <module>
196 from typed_ast import _ast3
197 ImportError: /home/gui/.vim/black/lib/python3.7/site-packages/typed_ast/_ast3.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbool: PyExc_KeyboardInterrupt
200 Then you need to install `typed_ast` and `regex` directly from the source code. The
201 error happens because `pip` will download [Python wheels](https://pythonwheels.com/) if
202 they are available. Python wheels are a new standard of distributing Python packages and
203 packages that have Cython and extensions written in C are already compiled, so the
204 installation is much more faster. The problem here is that somehow the Python
205 environment inside Vim does not match with those already compiled C extensions and these
206 kind of errors are the result. Luckily there is an easy fix: installing the packages
207 from the source code.
209 The two packages that cause the problem are:
211 - [regex](https://pypi.org/project/regex/)
212 - [typed-ast](https://pypi.org/project/typed-ast/)
214 Now remove those two packages:
217 $ pip uninstall regex typed-ast -y
220 And now you can install them with:
223 $ pip install --no-binary :all: regex typed-ast
226 The C extensions will be compiled and now Vim's Python environment will match. Note that
227 you need to have the GCC compiler and the Python development files installed (on
228 Ubuntu/Debian do `sudo apt-get install build-essential python3-dev`).
230 If you later want to update _Black_, you should do it like this:
233 $ pip install -U black --no-binary regex,typed-ast
238 gedit is the default text editor of the GNOME, Unix like Operating Systems. Open gedit
245 1. `Go to edit > preferences > plugins`
246 2. Search for `external tools` and activate it.
247 3. In `Tools menu -> Manage external tools`
248 4. Add a new tool using `+` button.
249 5. Copy the below content to the code window.
253 Name=$GEDIT_CURRENT_DOCUMENT_NAME
257 - Set a keyboard shortcut if you like, Ex. `ctrl-B`
260 - Output: `Display in bottom pane` if you like.
261 - Change the name of the tool if you like.
263 Use your keyboard shortcut or `Tools -> External Tools` to use your new tool. When you
264 close and reopen your File, _Black_ will be done with its job.
266 ## Visual Studio Code
269 [Python extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-python.python)
270 ([instructions](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/editing#_formatting)).
274 Use [sublack plugin](https://github.com/jgirardet/sublack).
276 ## Jupyter Notebook Magic
278 Use [blackcellmagic](https://github.com/csurfer/blackcellmagic).
280 ## Python Language Server
282 If your editor supports the [Language Server Protocol](https://langserver.org/) (Atom,
283 Sublime Text, Visual Studio Code and many more), you can use the
284 [Python Language Server](https://github.com/palantir/python-language-server) with the
285 [pyls-black](https://github.com/rupert/pyls-black) plugin.
289 Use [python-black](https://atom.io/packages/python-black).
291 ## Gradle (the build tool)
293 Use the [Spotless](https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/tree/main/plugin-gradle) plugin.
297 Add the following hook to your kakrc, then run _Black_ with `:format`.
300 hook global WinSetOption filetype=python %{
301 set-option window formatcmd 'black -q -'
307 Use [Thonny-black-code-format](https://github.com/Franccisco/thonny-black-code-format).
309 ## Other integrations
311 Other editors and tools will require external contributions.
313 Patches welcome! ✨ 🍰 ✨
315 Any tool that can pipe code through _Black_ using its stdio mode (just
316 [use `-` as the file name](https://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/special-chars.html#DASHREF2)).
317 The formatted code will be returned on stdout (unless `--check` was passed). _Black_
318 will still emit messages on stderr but that shouldn't affect your use case.
320 This can be used for example with PyCharm's or IntelliJ's
321 [File Watchers](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/file-watchers.html).
