Howdy! Sorry you're having trouble. To expedite your experience, provide some basics for me: Operating system: Python version: *Black* version: Does also happen on master: To answer the last question, you have two options: 1. Use the online formatter at https://black.now.sh/?version=master, which will use the latest master branch. 2. Or run black on your machine: * create a new virtualenv (make sure it's the same Python version); * clone this repository; * run `pip install -e .`; * make sure it's sane by running `python setup.py test`; and * run `black` like you did last time.
