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:

+Although when the target version is Python 3.9 or higher, _Black_ uses parentheses
+instead in `--preview` mode (see below) since they're allowed in Python 3.9 and higher.
+
+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:
+
+```python
+with contextlib.ExitStack() as exit_stack:
+    cm1 = exit_stack.enter_context(make_context_manager1())
+    cm2 = exit_stack.enter_context(make_context_manager2())

+    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 line breaks
+
+For assignment expressions, _Black_ now prefers to split and wrap the right side of the
+assignment instead of left side. For example:
+
+```python
+some_dict[
+    "with_a_long_key"
+] = some_looooooooong_module.some_looooooooooooooong_function_name(
+    first_argument, second_argument, third_argument
+)
+```
+
+will be changed to:
+
+```python
+some_dict["with_a_long_key"] = (
+    some_looooooooong_module.some_looooooooooooooong_function_name(
+        first_argument, second_argument, third_argument
+    )
+)
+```
+
+### Improved parentheses management
+
+For dict literals with long values, they are now wrapped in parentheses. Unnecessary
+parentheses are now removed. For example:
+
+```python
+my_dict = {
+    my_dict = {
+    "a key in my dict": a_very_long_variable
+    * and_a_very_long_function_call()
+    / 100000.0,
+    "another key": (short_value),
+}
+```
+
+will be changed to:
+
+```python
+my_dict = {
+    "a key in my dict": (
+        a_very_long_variable * and_a_very_long_function_call() / 100000.0
+    ),
+    "another key": short_value,
+}
+```
