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.
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.
23 include_trailing_comma = True
25 use_parentheses = True
26 ensure_newline_before_comments = True
30 ### Why those options above?
32 _Black_ wraps imports that surpass `line-length` by moving identifiers into their own
33 indented line. If that still doesn't fit the bill, it will put all of them in separate
34 lines and put a trailing comma. A more detailed explanation of this behaviour can be
35 [found here](https://github.com/psf/black#how-black-wraps-lines).
37 isort's default mode of wrapping imports that extend past the `line_length` limit is
41 from third_party import (lib1, lib2, lib3,
45 This style is incompatible with _Black_, but isort can be configured to use a different
46 wrapping mode called "Vertical Hanging Indent" which looks like this:
49 from third_party import (
57 This style is _Black_ compatible and can be achieved by `multi-line-output = 3`. Also,
58 as mentioned above, when wrapping long imports _Black_ puts a trailing comma and uses
59 parentheses. isort should follow the same behaviour and passing the options
60 `include_trailing_comma = True` and `use_parentheses = True` configures that.
62 The option `force_grid_wrap = 0` is just to tell isort to only wrap imports that surpass
63 the `line_length` limit.
65 Finally, isort should be told to wrap imports when they surpass _Black_'s default limit
66 of 88 characters via `line_length = 88` as well as
67 `ensure_newline_before_comments = True` to ensure spacing import sections with comments
68 works the same as with _Black_.
70 **Please note** `ensure_newline_before_comments = True` only works since isort >= 5 but
71 does not break older versions so you can keep it if you are running previous versions.
72 If only isort >= 5 is used you can add `profile = black` instead of all the options
73 since [profiles](https://timothycrosley.github.io/isort/docs/configuration/profiles/)
74 are available and do the configuring for you.

140 [Flake8](https://pypi.org/p/flake8/) is a code linter. It warns you of syntax errors,
141 possible bugs, stylistic errors, etc. For the most part, Flake8 follows
142 [PEP 8](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/) when warning about stylistic errors.
143 There are a few deviations that cause incompatibilities with _Black_.
149 extend-ignore = E203, W503
152 ### Why those options above?
154 When breaking a line, _Black_ will break it before a binary operator. This is compliant
155 with PEP 8, but this behaviour will cause flake8 to raise
156 `W503 line break before binary operator` warnings.
158 In some cases, as determined by PEP 8, _Black_ will enforce an equal amount of
159 whitespace around slice operators. Due to this, Flake8 will raise
160 `E203 whitespace before ':'` warnings.
162 Since both of these warnings are not PEP 8 compliant, Flake8 should be configured to
163 ignore these warnings via `extend-ignore = E203, W503`.
165 Also, as like with isort, flake8 should be configured to allow lines up to the length
166 limit of `88`, _Black_'s default. This explains `max-line-length = 88`.

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