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:

+## Why spaces? I prefer tabs
+
+PEP 8 recommends spaces over tabs, and they are used by most of the Python community.
+_Black_ provides no options to configure the indentation style, and requests for such
+options will not be considered.
+
+However, we recognise that using tabs is an accessibility issue as well. While the
+option will never be added to _Black_, visually impaired developers may find conversion
+tools such as `expand/unexpand` (for Linux) useful when contributing to Python projects.
+A workflow might consist of e.g. setting up appropriate pre-commit and post-merge git
+hooks, and scripting `unexpand` to run after applying _Black_.
