+## Installation and usage
### Installation
Options:
-l, --line-length INTEGER Where to wrap around. [default: 88]
+ --py36 Allow using Python 3.6-only syntax on all input
+ files. This will put trailing commas in function
+ signatures and calls also after *args and
+ **kwargs. [default: per-file auto-detection]
+ --pyi Format all input files like typing stubs
+ regardless of file extension (useful when piping
+ source on standard input).
+ -S, --skip-string-normalization
+ Don't normalize string quotes or prefixes.
--check Don't write the files back, just return the
status. Return code 0 means nothing would
change. Return code 1 means some files would be
for each file on stdout.
--fast / --safe If --fast given, skip temporary sanity checks.
[default: --safe]
+ --include TEXT A regular expression that matches files and
+ directories that should be included on
+ recursive searches. On Windows, use forward
+ slashes for directories. [default: \.pyi?$]
+ --exclude TEXT A regular expression that matches files and
+ directories that should be excluded on
+ recursive searches. On Windows, use forward
+ slashes for directories. [default:
+ build/|buck-out/|dist/|_build/|\.git/|\.hg/|
+ \.mypy_cache/|\.tox/|\.venv/]
-q, --quiet Don't emit non-error messages to stderr. Errors
are still emitted, silence those with
2>/dev/null.
+ -v, --verbose Also emit messages to stderr about files
+ that were not changed or were ignored due to
+ --exclude=.
--version Show the version and exit.
--help Show this message and exit.

+*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

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
```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"

### 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 (`'`
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.
+
+
+### 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

tell Flake8 to ignore these warnings.

### Parentheses
Some parentheses are optional in the Python grammar. Any expression can
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 treating dots that follow a call or an indexing

### Vim
create a virtualenv manually and point `g:black_virtualenv` to it.
The plugin will use it.
