-*Black* can already successfully format itself and the standard library.
+*Black* is already successfully used by several 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
-"Alpha" trove classifier, as well as by the "a" in the version number.
+"Beta" trove classifier, as well as by the "b" in the version number.
What this means for you is that **until the formatter becomes stable,
-you should expect some formatting to change in the future**.
+you should expect some formatting to change in the future**. That being
+said, no drastic stylistic changes are planned, mostly responses to bug
+reports.
Also, as a temporary safety measure, *Black* will check that the
reformatted code still produces a valid AST that is equivalent to the
```py3
# in:
-l = [[n for n in list_bosses()], [n for n in list_employees()]]
+TracebackException.from_exception(exc, limit, lookup_lines, capture_locals)
# out:
-l = [
- [n for n in list_bosses()], [n for n in list_employees()]
-]
+TracebackException.from_exception(
+ exc, limit, lookup_lines, capture_locals
+)
```
If that still doesn't fit the bill, it will decompose the internal
indentation level (like the arguments list and the docstring in the
example above).
-If a line of "from" imports cannot fit in the allotted length, it's always split
-into one per line. Imports tend to change often and this minimizes diffs, as well
-as enables readers of code to easily find which commit introduced a particular
-import. This exception also makes *Black* compatible with
-[isort](https://pypi.org/p/isort/). Use `multi_line_output=3`,
-`include_trailing_comma=True`, `force_grid_wrap=0`, and `line_length=88` in your
-isort config.
