+ --py36 Allow using Python 3.6-only syntax on all input

It also sports a decent test suite. However, it is still very new.

What this means for you is that **until the formatter becomes stable,

+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
```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`,
-`include_trailing_comma=True`, `force_grid_wrap=0`, and `line_length=88` 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

### Line length
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 (`'`
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)
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
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
1. Install `black`.
- $ pip install black
+```console
+$ pip install black
+```
2. Locate your `black` installation folder.
- On MacOS / Linux / BSD:
+ On macOS / Linux / BSD:
- $ which black
- /usr/local/bin/black # possible location
+```console
+$ which black
+/usr/local/bin/black # possible location
+```
On Windows:
- $ where black
- %LocalAppData%\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts\black.exe # possible location
+```console
+$ where black
+%LocalAppData%\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts\black.exe # possible location
+```
3. Open External tools in PyCharm with `File -> Settings -> Tools -> External Tools`.
**How to get Vim with Python 3.6?**
On Ubuntu 17.10 Vim comes with Python 3.6 by default.
-On macOS with HomeBrew run: `brew install vim --with-python3`.
+On macOS with Homebrew run: `brew install vim --with-python3`.
When building Vim from source, use:
`./configure --enable-python3interp=yes`. There's many guides online how
to do this.
