+*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.

+6. Optionally, run *Black* on every file save:
1. Make sure you have the [File Watcher](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7177-file-watchers) plugin installed.
2. Go to `Preferences or Settings -> Tools -> File Watchers` and click `+` to add a new watcher:
- Working directory: `$ProjectFileDir$`

+### 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.
+
### Vim
Commands and shortcuts:
-h, --help Show this message and exit.
```
+There is no official blackd client tool (yet!). You can test that blackd is
+working using `curl`:
+
+```
+blackd --bind-port 9090 & # or let blackd choose a port
+curl -s -XPOST "localhost:9090" -d "print('valid')"
+```
+
### Protocol
`blackd` only accepts `POST` requests at the `/` path. The body of the request
`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,
+attrs, SQLAlchemy, Poetry, PyPA applications (Warehouse, Pipenv, virtualenv).
