+*Black* is already [successfully used](#used-by) by many 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
"Beta" trove classifier, as well as by the "b" in the version number.
*Black* reformats entire files in place. It is not configurable. It
doesn't take previous formatting into account. It doesn't reformat

the same effect, as a courtesy for straddling code.

+If you're curious about the reasoning behind B950,

explains it. The tl;dr is "it's like highway speed limits, we won't
bother you if you overdo it by a few km/h".
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).

+An empty string in double quotes (`""`) is impossible to confuse with
a one double-quote regardless of fonts and syntax highlighting used.
On top of this, double quotes for strings are consistent with C which
Python interacts a lot with.
*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`. In
-Python 3.6+, *Black* adds underscores to long numeric literals to aid
-readability: `100000000` becomes `100_000_000`.

+### Wing IDE
+
+Wing supports black via the OS Commands tool, as explained in the Wing documentation on [pep8 formatting](https://wingware.com/doc/edit/pep8). The detailed procedure is:
+
+1. Install `black`.
+
+```console
+$ pip install black
+```
+
+2. Make sure it runs from the command line, e.g.
+
+```console
+$ black --help
+```
+
+3. In Wing IDE, activate the **OS Commands** panel and define the command **black** to execute black on the currently selected file:
+
+- Use the Tools -> OS Commands menu selection
+- click on **+** in **OS Commands** -> New: Command line..
+ - Title: black
+ - Command Line: black %s
+ - I/O Encoding: Use Default
+ - Key Binding: F1
+ - [x] Raise OS Commands when executed
+ - [x] Auto-save files before execution
+ - [x] Line mode
+
+4. Select a file in the editor and press **F1** , or whatever key binding you selected in step 3, to reformat the file.

## Version control integration
Use [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/). Once you [have it
`.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
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`
+behave consistently for your project. See *Black*'s own [pyproject.toml](/pyproject.toml)
for an example.
If you're already using Python 3.7, switch the `language_version`
`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,
