### Strings
-*Black* prefers double quotes (`"` and `"""`), but only if this does not
-result in more escaping. It will remove escape sequences as necessary as
-part of moving to the other type of quote. This applies to all kinds of
-prefixed strings, including *raw-strings* (`r""`), *byte literals* (`b""`),
-and *formatted strings* (`f""`). The approach above strikes a good balance
-between consistency and legibility.
+*Black* prefers double quotes (`"` and `"""`) over single quotes (`'`
+and `'''`). It will replace the latter with the former as long as it
+does not result in more backslash escapes than before.
+
+The main reason to standardize on a single form of quotes is aesthetics.
+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).
+
+Why settle on double quotes? They anticipate apostrophes in English
+text. They match the docstring standard described in PEP 257. 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.
+
+On certain keyboard layouts like US English, typing single quotes is
+a bit easier than double quotes. The latter requires use of the Shift
+key. My recommendation here is to keep using whatever is faster to type
+and let *Black* handle the transformation.
+
+### 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
+recent changes in the [PEP 8](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#should-a-line-break-before-or-after-a-binary-operator)
+style guide, which emphasizes that this approach improves readability.
+
+This behaviour may raise ``W503 line break before binary operator`` warnings in
+style guide enforcement tools like Flake8. Since ``W503`` is not PEP 8 compliant,
+you should tell Flake8 to ignore these warnings.
+
+### Parentheses
+
+Some parentheses are optional in the Python grammar. Any expression can
+be wrapped in a pair of parentheses to form an atom. There are a few
+interesting cases:
+
+- `if (...):`
+- `while (...):`
+- `for (...) in (...):`
+- `assert (...), (...)`
+- `from X import (...)`
+
+In those cases, parentheses are removed when the entire statement fits
+in one line, or if the inner expression doesn't have any delimiters to
+further split on. Otherwise, the parentheses are always added.
## Editor integration
Use [proofit404/blacken](https://github.com/proofit404/blacken).
+### PyCharm
+
+1. Install `black`.
+
+ $ pip install black
+
+2. Locate your `black` installation folder.
+
+ On MacOS / Linux / BSD:
+
+ $ which black
+ /usr/local/bin/black # possible location
+
+ On Windows:
+
+ $ where black
+ %LocalAppData%\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts\black.exe # possible location
+
+3. Open External tools in PyCharm with `File -> Settings -> Tools -> External Tools`.
+
+4. Click the + icon to add a new external tool with the following values:
+ - Name: Black
+ - Description: Black is the uncompromising Python code formatter.
+ - Program: <install_location_from_step_2>
+ - Arguments: $FilePath$
+
+5. Format the currently opened file by selecting `Tools -> External Tools -> black`.
+ - Alternatively, you can set a keyboard shortcut by navigating to `Preferences -> Keymap`.
+
+
### Vim
Commands and shortcuts:
Use [joslarson.black-vscode](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=joslarson.black-vscode).
+### SublimeText 3
+
+Use [sublack plugin](https://github.com/jgirardet/sublack).
### Other editors
This can be used for example with PyCharm's [File Watchers](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/file-watchers.html).
+## Version control integration
+
+Use [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/). Once you [have it
+installed](https://pre-commit.com/#install), add this to the
+`.pre-commit-config.yaml` in your repository:
+```yaml
+repos:
+- repo: https://github.com/ambv/black
+ rev: stable
+ hooks:
+ - id: black
+ args: [--line-length=88, --safe]
+ python_version: python3.6
+```
+Then run `pre-commit install` and you're ready to go.
+
+`args` in the above config is optional but shows you how you can change
+the line length if you really need to. If you're already using Python
+3.7, switch the `python_version` accordingly. Finally, `stable` is a tag
+that is pinned to the latest release on PyPI. If you'd rather run on
+master, this is also an option.
+
+
+## Ignoring non-modified files
+
+*Black* remembers files it already formatted, unless the `--diff` flag is used or
+code is passed via standard input. This information is stored per-user. The exact
+location of the file depends on the black version and the system on which black
+is run. The file is non-portable. The standard location on common operating systems
+is:
+
+* Windows: `C:\\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\black\black\Cache\<version>\cache.pickle`
+* macOS: `/Users/<username>/Library/Caches/black/<version>/cache.pickle`
+* Linux: `/home/<username>/.cache/black/<version>/cache.pickle`

## Change Log
-### 18.3a5 (unreleased)

+ won't be reformatted again (#109)
+
+* `--check` and `--diff` are no longer mutually exclusive (#149)
+
+* generalized star expression handling, including double stars; this
+ fixes multiplication making expressions "unsafe" for trailing commas (#132)
+
+* fixed parsing of complex expressions after star and double stars in
+ function parameters (#2)
+
+* fixed invalid splitting on comma in lambda arguments (#133)
+
+### 18.4a2
+

+
+* fixed placement of dictionary unpacking inside dictionary literals (#111)
+
+* Vim plugin now works on Windows, too
+
+* fixed unstable formatting when encountering unnecessarily escaped quotes
+ in a string (#120)
+
+
+### 18.4a1
+

+

+
+
+### 18.4a0
* added `--diff` (#87)

- comply with PEP 8 (#73)
+* add line breaks before all delimiters, except in cases like commas, to
+ better comply with PEP 8 (#73)
+
+* standardize string literals to use double quotes (almost) everywhere
+ (#75)
* fixed handling of standalone comments within nested bracketed
expressions; Black will no longer produce super long lines or put all
* fixed 18.3a4 regression: don't crash and burn on empty lines with
trailing whitespace (#80)
+* fixed 18.3a4 regression: `# yapf: disable` usage as trailing comment
+ would cause Black to not emit the rest of the file (#95)
+
* when CTRL+C is pressed while formatting many files, Black no longer
freaks out with a flurry of asyncio-related exceptions
