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:

[url "git://git.madduck.net/madduck/"]

+While _Black_ is indeed a pure Python project, we use [mypyc] to compile _Black_ into a
+C Python extension, usually doubling performance. These compiled wheels are available
+for 64-bit versions of Windows, Linux (via the manylinux standard), and macOS across all
+supported CPython versions.

+Platforms including musl-based and/or ARM Linux distributions, and ARM Windows are

+If you are experiencing exceptionally weird issues or even segfaults, you can try
+passing `--no-binary black` to your pip install invocation. This flag excludes all
+wheels (including the pure Python wheel), so this command will use the [sdist].
