madduck's git repository

Every one of the projects in this repository is available at the canonical URL git://git.madduck.net/madduck/pub/<projectpath> — see each project's metadata for the exact URL.

All patches and comments are welcome. Please squash your changes to logical commits before using git-format-patch and git-send-email to patches@git.madduck.net. If you'd read over the Git project's submission guidelines and adhered to them, I'd be especially grateful.

SSH access, as well as push access can be individually arranged.

If you use my repositories frequently, consider adding the following snippet to ~/.gitconfig and using the third clone URL listed for each project:

-## Improved string processing
+An alternative to consider if the backslashes in the above formatting are undesirable is
+to use {external:py:obj}`contextlib.ExitStack` to combine context managers in the
+following way:
 
-Currently, _Black_ does not split long strings to fit the line length limit. Currently,
-there is [an experimental option](labels/experimental-string) to enable splitting
-strings. We plan to enable this option by default once it is fully stable. This is
+```python
+with contextlib.ExitStack() as exit_stack:
+    cm1 = exit_stack.enter_context(make_context_manager1())
+    cm2 = exit_stack.enter_context(make_context_manager2())
+    cm3 = exit_stack.enter_context(make_context_manager3())
+    cm4 = exit_stack.enter_context(make_context_manager4())
+    ...
+```
+
+## Preview style
+
+Experimental, potentially disruptive style changes are gathered under the `--preview`
+CLI flag. At the end of each year, these changes may be adopted into the default style,
+as described in [The Black Code Style](./index.rst). Because the functionality is
+experimental, feedback and issue reports are highly encouraged!
+
+### Improved string processing
+
+_Black_ will split long string literals and merge short ones. Parentheses are used where
+appropriate. When split, parts of f-strings that don't need formatting are converted to
+plain strings. User-made splits are respected when they do not exceed the line length
+limit. Line continuation backslashes are converted into parenthesized strings.
+Unnecessary parentheses are stripped. The stability and status of this feature is
 tracked in [this issue](https://github.com/psf/black/issues/2188).
+
+### Improved empty line management
+
+1.  _Black_ will remove newlines in the beginning of new code blocks, i.e. when the
+    indentation level is increased. For example:
+
+    ```python
+    def my_func():
+
+        print("The line above me will be deleted!")
+    ```
+
+    will be changed to:
+
+    ```python
+    def my_func():
+        print("The line above me will be deleted!")
+    ```
+
+    This new feature will be applied to **all code blocks**: `def`, `class`, `if`,
+    `for`, `while`, `with`, `case` and `match`.
+
+2.  _Black_ will enforce empty lines before classes and functions with leading comments.
+    For example:
+
+    ```python
+    some_var = 1
+    # Leading sticky comment
+    def my_func():
+        ...
+    ```
+
+    will be changed to:
+
+    ```python
+    some_var = 1
+
+
+    # Leading sticky comment
+    def my_func():
+        ...
+    ```
+
+### Improved parentheses management
+
+_Black_ will format parentheses around return annotations similarly to other sets of
+parentheses. For example:
+
+```python
+def foo() -> (int):
+    ...
+
+def foo() -> looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong:
+    ...
+```
+
+will be changed to:
+
+```python
+def foo() -> int:
+    ...
+
+
+def foo() -> (
+    looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong
+):
+    ...
+```
+
+And, extra parentheses in `await` expressions and `with` statements are removed. For
+example:
+
+```python
+with ((open("bla.txt")) as f, open("x")):
+    ...
+
+async def main():
+    await (asyncio.sleep(1))
+```
+
+will be changed to:
+
+```python
+with open("bla.txt") as f, open("x"):
+    ...
+
+
+async def main():
+    await asyncio.sleep(1)
+```
