+after module-level functions and classes. *Black* will not put empty
+lines between function/class definitions and standalone comments that

+
+*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 (`'`
Having one kind of quotes everywhere reduces reader distraction.
It will also enable a future version of *Black* to merge consecutive
string literals that ended up on the same line (see
-[#26](https://github.com/ambv/black/issues/26) for details).

On top of this, double quotes for strings are consistent with C which

key. My recommendation here is to keep using whatever is faster to type
and let *Black* handle the transformation.
-### Line Breaks & Binary Operators
+If you are adopting *Black* in a large project with pre-existing string
+conventions (like the popular ["single quotes for data, double quotes for
+human-readable strings"](https://stackoverflow.com/a/56190)), you can
+pass `--skip-string-normalization` on the command line. This is meant as
+an adoption helper, avoid using this for new projects.
+
+### Numeric literals
+
+*Black* standardizes most numeric literals to use lowercase letters for the
+syntactic parts and uppercase letters for the digits themselves: `0xAB`
+instead of `0XAB` and `1e10` instead of `1E10`. Python 2 long literals are
+styled as `2L` instead of `2l` to avoid confusion between `l` and `1`.
+
+
+### 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

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
* use `float` instead of `Union[int, float]`.
+## pyproject.toml
+
+*Black* is able to read project-specific default values for its
+command line options from a `pyproject.toml` file. This is
+especially useful for specifying custom `--include` and `--exclude`
+patterns for your project.
+
+**Pro-tip**: If you're asking yourself "Do I need to configure anything?"
+the answer is "No". *Black* is all about sensible defaults.
+
+
+### What on Earth is a `pyproject.toml` file?
+
+[PEP 518](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0518/) defines
+`pyproject.toml` as a configuration file to store build system
+requirements for Python projects. With the help of tools
+like [Poetry](https://poetry.eustace.io/) or
+[Flit](https://flit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) it can fully replace the
+need for `setup.py` and `setup.cfg` files.
+
+
+### Where *Black* looks for the file
+
+By default *Black* looks for `pyproject.toml` starting from the common
+base directory of all files and directories passed on the command line.
+If it's not there, it looks in parent directories. It stops looking
+when it finds the file, or a `.git` directory, or a `.hg` directory,
+or the root of the file system, whichever comes first.
+
+If you're formatting standard input, *Black* will look for configuration
+starting from the current working directory.
+
+You can also explicitly specify the path to a particular file that you
+want with `--config`. In this situation *Black* will not look for any
+other file.
+
+If you're running with `--verbose`, you will see a blue message if
+a file was found and used.
+
+Please note `blackd` will not use `pyproject.toml` configuration.
+
+
+### Configuration format
+
+As the file extension suggests, `pyproject.toml` is a [TOML](https://github.com/toml-lang/toml) file. It contains separate
+sections for different tools. *Black* is using the `[tool.black]`
+section. The option keys are the same as long names of options on
+the command line.
+
+Note that you have to use single-quoted strings in TOML for regular
+expressions. It's the equivalent of r-strings in Python. Multiline
+strings are treated as verbose regular expressions by Black. Use `[ ]`
+to denote a significant space character.
+
+<details>
+<summary>Example `pyproject.toml`</summary>
+
+```toml
+[tool.black]
+line-length = 88
+target-version = ['py37']
+include = '\.pyi?$'
+exclude = '''
+
+(
+ /(
+ \.eggs # exclude a few common directories in the
+ | \.git # root of the project
+ | \.hg
+ | \.mypy_cache
+ | \.tox
+ | \.venv
+ | _build
+ | buck-out
+ | build
+ | dist
+ )/
+ | foo.py # also separately exclude a file named foo.py in
+ # the root of the project
+)
+'''
+```
+
+</details>
+
+### Lookup hierarchy
+
+Command-line options have defaults that you can see in `--help`.
+A `pyproject.toml` can override those defaults. Finally, options
+provided by the user on the command line override both.
+
+*Black* will only ever use one `pyproject.toml` file during an entire
+run. It doesn't look for multiple files, and doesn't compose
+configuration from different levels of the file hierarchy.

+## blackd
+`blackd` is a small HTTP server that exposes *Black*'s functionality over
+a simple protocol. The main benefit of using it is to avoid paying the
+cost of starting up a new *Black* process every time you want to blacken
+a file.
+
+### Usage
+
+`blackd` is not packaged alongside *Black* by default because it has additional
+dependencies. You will need to do `pip install black[d]` to install it.
+
+You can start the server on the default port, binding only to the local interface
+by running `blackd`. You will see a single line mentioning the server's version,
+and the host and port it's listening on. `blackd` will then print an access log
+similar to most web servers on standard output, merged with any exception traces
+caused by invalid formatting requests.
+
+`blackd` provides even less options than *Black*. You can see them by running

+
+There is no official blackd client tool (yet!). You can test that blackd is
+working using `curl`:

+blackd --bind-port 9090 & # or let blackd choose a port
+curl -s -XPOST "localhost:9090" -d "print('valid')"
+```
+
+### Protocol
+
+`blackd` only accepts `POST` requests at the `/` path. The body of the request
+should contain the python source code to be formatted, encoded
+according to the `charset` field in the `Content-Type` request header. If no
+`charset` is specified, `blackd` assumes `UTF-8`.
+
+There are a few HTTP headers that control how the source is formatted. These
+correspond to command line flags for *Black*. There is one exception to this:
+`X-Protocol-Version` which if present, should have the value `1`, otherwise the
+request is rejected with `HTTP 501` (Not Implemented).
+
+The headers controlling how code is formatted are:
+
+ - `X-Line-Length`: corresponds to the `--line-length` command line flag.
+ - `X-Skip-String-Normalization`: corresponds to the `--skip-string-normalization`
+ command line flag. If present and its value is not the empty string, no string
+ normalization will be performed.
+ - `X-Fast-Or-Safe`: if set to `fast`, `blackd` will act as *Black* does when
+ passed the `--fast` command line flag.
+ - `X-Python-Variant`: if set to `pyi`, `blackd` will act as *Black* does when
+ passed the `--pyi` command line flag. Otherwise, its value must correspond to
+ a Python version or a set of comma-separated Python versions, optionally
+ prefixed with `py`. For example, to request code that is compatible
+ with Python 3.5 and 3.6, set the header to `py3.5,py3.6`.
+
+If any of these headers are set to invalid values, `blackd` returns a `HTTP 400`
+error response, mentioning the name of the problematic header in the message body.
+
+Apart from the above, `blackd` can produce the following response codes:
+
+ - `HTTP 204`: If the input is already well-formatted. The response body is
+ empty.
+ - `HTTP 200`: If formatting was needed on the input. The response body
+ contains the blackened Python code, and the `Content-Type` header is set
+ accordingly.
+ - `HTTP 400`: If the input contains a syntax error. Details of the error are
+ returned in the response body.
+ - `HTTP 500`: If there was any kind of error while trying to format the input.
+ The response body contains a textual representation of the error.
## Version control integration
`.pre-commit-config.yaml` in your repository:
```yaml
repos:
-- repo: https://github.com/ambv/black
+- repo: https://github.com/psf/black
rev: stable
hooks:
- id: black
- args: [--line-length=88, --safe]
- python_version: python3.6
+ language_version: python3.6
```
Then run `pre-commit install` and you're ready to go.
-`args` in the above config is optional but shows you how you can change
-the line length if you really need to. If you're already using Python
-3.7, switch the `python_version` accordingly. Finally, `stable` is a tag
-that is pinned to the latest release on PyPI. If you'd rather run on
-master, this is also an option.
+Avoid using `args` in the hook. Instead, store necessary configuration
+in `pyproject.toml` so that editors and command-line usage of Black all
+behave consistently for your project. See *Black*'s own [pyproject.toml](/pyproject.toml)
+for an example.

-*Black* remembers files it already formatted, unless the `--diff` flag is used or
+*Black* remembers files it has already formatted, unless the `--diff` flag is used or
code is passed via standard input. This information is stored per-user. The exact
-location of the file depends on the black version and the system on which black
+location of the file depends on the *Black* version and the system on which *Black*
is run. The file is non-portable. The standard location on common operating systems
is:
-* Windows: `C:\\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\black\black\Cache\<version>\cache.<line-length>.pickle`
-* macOS: `/Users/<username>/Library/Caches/black/<version>/cache.<line-length>.pickle`
-* Linux: `/home/<username>/.cache/black/<version>/cache.<line-length>.pickle`
+* Windows: `C:\\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\black\black\Cache\<version>\cache.<line-length>.<file-mode>.pickle`
+* macOS: `/Users/<username>/Library/Caches/black/<version>/cache.<line-length>.<file-mode>.pickle`
+* Linux: `/home/<username>/.cache/black/<version>/cache.<line-length>.<file-mode>.pickle`
+
+`file-mode` is an int flag that determines whether the file was formatted as 3.6+ only,
+as .pyi, and whether string normalization was omitted.
+
+To override the location of these files on macOS or Linux, set the environment variable
+`XDG_CACHE_HOME` to your preferred location. For example, if you want to put the cache in
+the directory you're running *Black* from, set `XDG_CACHE_HOME=.cache`. *Black* will then
+write the above files to `.cache/black/<version>/`.
+
+## Used by
+
+The following notable open-source projects trust *Black* with enforcing
+a consistent code style: pytest, tox, Pyramid, Django Channels, Hypothesis,
+attrs, SQLAlchemy, Poetry, PyPA applications (Warehouse, Pipenv, virtualenv),
+every Datadog Agent Integration.
