-*Black* can already successfully format itself and the standard library.
+*Black* is already successfully used by several projects, small and big.
It also sports a decent test suite. However, it is still very new.
Things will probably be wonky for a while. This is made explicit by the
-"Alpha" trove classifier, as well as by the "a" in the version number.
+"Beta" trove classifier, as well as by the "b" in the version number.
What this means for you is that **until the formatter becomes stable,
-you should expect some formatting to change in the future**.
+you should expect some formatting to change in the future**. That being
+said, no drastic stylistic changes are planned, mostly responses to bug
+reports.
Also, as a temporary safety measure, *Black* will check that the
reformatted code still produces a valid AST that is equivalent to the
*Black* ignores previous formatting and applies uniform horizontal
and vertical whitespace to your code. The rules for horizontal

+whitespace can be summarized as: do whatever makes `pycodestyle` happy.
+The coding style used by *Black* can be viewed as a strict subset of
+PEP 8.
As for vertical whitespace, *Black* tries to render one full expression
or simple statement per line. If this fits the allotted line length,
```py3
# in:
-l = [[n for n in list_bosses()], [n for n in list_employees()]]
+TracebackException.from_exception(exc, limit, lookup_lines, capture_locals)
# out:
-l = [
- [n for n in list_bosses()], [n for n in list_employees()]
-]
+TracebackException.from_exception(
+ exc, limit, lookup_lines, capture_locals
+)
```
If that still doesn't fit the bill, it will decompose the internal
indentation level (like the arguments list and the docstring in the
example above).
-If a line of "from" imports cannot fit in the allotted length, it's always split
-into one per line. Imports tend to change often and this minimizes diffs, as well
-as enables readers of code to easily find which commit introduced a particular
-import. This exception also makes *Black* compatible with
-[isort](https://pypi.org/p/isort/). Use `multi_line_output=3` and
-`include_trailing_comma=True` in your isort config.
+If a data structure literal (tuple, list, set, dict) or a line of "from"
+imports cannot fit in the allotted length, it's always split into one
+element per line. This minimizes diffs as well as enables readers of
+code to find which commit introduced a particular entry. This also
+makes *Black* compatible with [isort](https://pypi.org/p/isort/) with

+<details>
+<summary>A compatible `.isort.cfg`</summary>

+```
+</details>
### Line length
It will also insert proper spacing before and after function definitions.
It's one line before and after inner functions and two lines before and
-after module-level functions. *Black* will not put empty lines between
-function/class definitions and standalone comments that immediately precede
-the given function/class.
+after module-level functions and classes. *Black* will not put empty
+lines between function/class definitions and standalone comments that
+immediately precede the given function/class.
+
+*Black* will enforce single empty lines between a class-level docstring
+and the first following field or method. This conforms to
+[PEP 257](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0257/#multi-line-docstrings).
+
+*Black* won't insert empty lines after function docstrings unless that
+empty line is required due to an inner function starting immediately
+after.
### Trailing commas
recognize it was safe to do so, put it there manually and *Black* will
keep it.
+
### Strings
*Black* prefers double quotes (`"` and `"""`) over single quotes (`'`
and `'''`). It will replace the latter with the former as long as it
does not result in more backslash escapes than before.
+*Black* also standardizes string prefixes, making them always lowercase.
+On top of that, if your code is already Python 3.6+ only or it's using
+the `unicode_literals` future import, *Black* will remove `u` from the
+string prefix as it is meaningless in those scenarios.
+
The main reason to standardize on a single form of quotes is aesthetics.
Having one kind of quotes everywhere reduces reader distraction.
It will also enable a future version of *Black* to merge consecutive
key. My recommendation here is to keep using whatever is faster to type
and let *Black* handle the transformation.
-### Line Breaks & Binary Operators
+
+### Line breaks & binary operators
*Black* will break a line before a binary operator when splitting a block
of code over multiple lines. This is so that *Black* is compliant with the
style guide enforcement tools like Flake8. Since ``W503`` is not PEP 8 compliant,
you should tell Flake8 to ignore these warnings.
+
+### Slices
+
+PEP 8 [recommends](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#whitespace-in-expressions-and-statements)
+to treat ``:`` in slices as a binary operator with the lowest priority, and to
+leave an equal amount of space on either side, except if a parameter is omitted
+(e.g. ``ham[1 + 1 :]``). It also states that for extended slices, both ``:``
+operators have to have the same amount of spacing, except if a parameter is
+omitted (``ham[1 + 1 ::]``). *Black* enforces these rules consistently.
+
+This behaviour may raise ``E203 whitespace before ':'`` warnings in style guide
+enforcement tools like Flake8. Since ``E203`` is not PEP 8 compliant, you should
+tell Flake8 to ignore these warnings.
+
+
### Parentheses
Some parentheses are optional in the Python grammar. Any expression can
- `for (...) in (...):`
- `assert (...), (...)`
- `from X import (...)`
+- assignments like:
+ - `target = (...)`
+ - `target: type = (...)`
+ - `some, *un, packing = (...)`
+ - `augmented += (...)`
In those cases, parentheses are removed when the entire statement fits
in one line, or if the inner expression doesn't have any delimiters to
-further split on. Otherwise, the parentheses are always added.
+further split on. If there is only a single delimiter and the expression
+starts or ends with a bracket, the parenthesis can also be successfully
+omitted since the existing bracket pair will organize the expression
+neatly anyway. Otherwise, the parentheses are added.
+
+Please note that *Black* does not add or remove any additional nested
+parentheses that you might want to have for clarity or further
+code organization. For example those parentheses are not going to be
+removed:
+```py3
+return not (this or that)
+decision = (maybe.this() and values > 0) or (maybe.that() and values < 0)
+```
+
+
+### Call chains
+
+Some popular APIs, like ORMs, use call chaining. This API style is known
+as a [fluent interface](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluent_interface).
+*Black* formats those by treating dots that follow a call or an indexing
+operation like a very low priority delimiter. It's easier to show the
+behavior than to explain it. Look at the example:
+```py3
+def example(session):
+ result = (
+ session.query(models.Customer.id)
+ .filter(
+ models.Customer.account_id == account_id,
+ models.Customer.email == email_address,
+ )
+ .order_by(models.Customer.id.asc())
+ .all()
+ )
+```
+
+
+### Typing stub files
+
+PEP 484 describes the syntax for type hints in Python. One of the
+use cases for typing is providing type annotations for modules which
+cannot contain them directly (they might be written in C, or they might
+be third-party, or their implementation may be overly dynamic, and so on).
+
+To solve this, [stub files with the `.pyi` file
+extension](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0484/#stub-files) can be
+used to describe typing information for an external module. Those stub
+files omit the implementation of classes and functions they
+describe, instead they only contain the structure of the file (listing
+globals, functions, and classes with their members). The recommended
+code style for those files is more terse than PEP 8:
+
+* prefer `...` on the same line as the class/function signature;
+* avoid vertical whitespace between consecutive module-level functions,
+ names, or methods and fields within a single class;
+* use a single blank line between top-level class definitions, or none
+ if the classes are very small.
+
+*Black* enforces the above rules. There are additional guidelines for
+formatting `.pyi` file that are not enforced yet but might be in
+a future version of the formatter:
+
+* all function bodies should be empty (contain `...` instead of the body);
+* do not use docstrings;
+* prefer `...` over `pass`;
+* for arguments with a default, use `...` instead of the actual default;
+* avoid using string literals in type annotations, stub files support
+ forward references natively (like Python 3.7 code with `from __future__
+ import annotations`);
+* use variable annotations instead of type comments, even for stubs that
+ target older versions of Python;
+* for arguments that default to `None`, use `Optional[]` explicitly;
+* use `float` instead of `Union[int, float]`.
