### Installation
-_Black_ can be installed by running `pip install black`. It requires Python 3.6.0+ to
-run but you can reformat Python 2 code with it, too.
+_Black_ can be installed by running `pip install black`. It requires Python 3.6.2+ to
+run. If you want to format Python 2 code as well, install with
+`pip install black[python2]`. If you want to format Jupyter Notebooks, install with
+`pip install black[jupyter]`.
+
+If you can't wait for the latest _hotness_ and want to install from GitHub, use:
+
+`pip install git+git://github.com/psf/black`
### Usage
To get started right away with sensible defaults:
-```
+```sh
black {source_file_or_directory}
```
-### Command line options
-
-_Black_ doesn't provide many options. You can list them by running `black --help`:
-
-```text
-black [OPTIONS] [SRC]...
-
-Options:
- -c, --code TEXT Format the code passed in as a string.
- -l, --line-length INTEGER How many characters per line to allow.
- [default: 88]
- -t, --target-version [py27|py33|py34|py35|py36|py37|py38]
- Python versions that should be supported by
- Black's output. [default: per-file auto-
- detection]
- --py36 Allow using Python 3.6-only syntax on all
- input files. This will put trailing commas
- in function signatures and calls also after
- *args and **kwargs. Deprecated; use
- --target-version instead. [default: per-file
- auto-detection]
- --pyi Format all input files like typing stubs
- regardless of file extension (useful when
- piping source on standard input).
- -S, --skip-string-normalization
- Don't normalize string quotes or prefixes.
- --check Don't write the files back, just return the
- status. Return code 0 means nothing would
- change. Return code 1 means some files
- would be reformatted. Return code 123 means
- there was an internal error.
- --diff Don't write the files back, just output a
- diff for each file on stdout.
- --fast / --safe If --fast given, skip temporary sanity
- checks. [default: --safe]
- --include TEXT A regular expression that matches files and
- directories that should be included on
- recursive searches. An empty value means
- all files are included regardless of the
- name. Use forward slashes for directories
- on all platforms (Windows, too). Exclusions
- are calculated first, inclusions later.
- [default: \.pyi?$]
- --exclude TEXT A regular expression that matches files and
- directories that should be excluded on
- recursive searches. An empty value means no
- paths are excluded. Use forward slashes for
- directories on all platforms (Windows, too).
- Exclusions are calculated first, inclusions
- later. [default: /(\.eggs|\.git|\.hg|\.mypy
- _cache|\.nox|\.tox|\.venv|_build|buck-
- out|build|dist)/]
- -q, --quiet Don't emit non-error messages to stderr.
- Errors are still emitted, silence those with
- 2>/dev/null.
- -v, --verbose Also emit messages to stderr about files
- that were not changed or were ignored due to
- --exclude=.
- --version Show the version and exit.
- --config PATH Read configuration from PATH.
- -h, --help Show this message and exit.
+You can run _Black_ as a package if running it as a script doesn't work:
+
+```sh
+python -m black {source_file_or_directory}
```
-_Black_ is a well-behaved Unix-style command-line tool:
+Further information can be found in our docs:
-- it does nothing if no sources are passed to it;
-- it will read from standard input and write to standard output if `-` is used as the
- filename;
-- it only outputs messages to users on standard error;
-- exits with code 0 unless an internal error occurred (or `--check` was used).

### NOTE: This is a beta product
-_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. What this means for you is that **until the formatter
-becomes stable, 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 original. This slows it down. If you're
-feeling confident, use `--fast`.
+_Black_ is already [successfully used](https://github.com/psf/black#used-by) by many

+section for details). If you're feeling confident, use `--fast`.
## The _Black_ code style
-_Black_ reformats entire files in place. It is not configurable. It doesn't take
-previous formatting into account. It doesn't reformat blocks that start with
-`# fmt: off` and end with `# fmt: on`. `# fmt: on/off` have to be on the same level of
-indentation. It also recognizes [YAPF](https://github.com/google/yapf)'s block comments
-to the same effect, as a courtesy for straddling code.
-
-### How _Black_ wraps lines
-
-_Black_ ignores previous formatting and applies uniform horizontal and vertical
-whitespace to your code. The rules for horizontal whitespace can be summarized as: do
-whatever makes `pycodestyle` happy. The coding style used by _Black_ can be viewed as a
-strict subset of PEP 8.
-
-As for vertical whitespace, _Black_ tries to render one full expression or simple
-statement per line. If this fits the allotted line length, great.
-
-```py3
-# in:
-
-j = [1,
- 2,
- 3,
-]
-
-# out:
+_Black_ is a PEP 8 compliant opinionated formatter. _Black_ reformats entire files in
+place. Style configuration options are deliberately limited and rarely added. It doesn't
+take previous formatting into account (see [Pragmatism](#pragmatism) for exceptions).
-j = [1, 2, 3]
-```
-
-If not, _Black_ will look at the contents of the first outer matching brackets and put
-that in a separate indented line.
-
-```py3
-# in:
+Our documentation covers the current _Black_ code style, but planned changes to it are
+also documented. They're both worth taking a look:
-ImportantClass.important_method(exc, limit, lookup_lines, capture_locals, extra_argument)

-# out:
+Please refer to this document before submitting an issue. What seems like a bug might be
+intended behaviour.
-ImportantClass.important_method(
- exc, limit, lookup_lines, capture_locals, extra_argument
-)
-```
+### Pragmatism
-If that still doesn't fit the bill, it will decompose the internal expression further
-using the same rule, indenting matching brackets every time. If the contents of the
-matching brackets pair are comma-separated (like an argument list, or a dict literal,
-and so on) then _Black_ will first try to keep them on the same line with the matching
-brackets. If that doesn't work, it will put all of them in separate lines.
-
-```py3
-# in:
-
-def very_important_function(template: str, *variables, file: os.PathLike, engine: str, header: bool = True, debug: bool = False):
- """Applies `variables` to the `template` and writes to `file`."""
- with open(file, 'w') as f:
- ...
-
-# out:
-
-def very_important_function(
- template: str,
- *variables,
- file: os.PathLike,
- engine: str,
- header: bool = True,
- debug: bool = False,
-):
- """Applies `variables` to the `template` and writes to `file`."""
- with open(file, "w") as f:
- ...
-```
+Early versions of _Black_ used to be absolutist in some respects. They took after its
+initial author. This was fine at the time as it made the implementation simpler and
+there were not many users anyway. Not many edge cases were reported. As a mature tool,
+_Black_ does make some exceptions to rules it otherwise holds.
-You might have noticed that closing brackets are always dedented and that a trailing
-comma is always added. Such formatting produces smaller diffs; when you add or remove an
-element, it's always just one line. Also, having the closing bracket dedented provides a
-clear delimiter between two distinct sections of the code that otherwise share the same
-indentation level (like the arguments list and the docstring in the example above).
+- [The _Black_ code style: Pragmatism](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/the_black_code_style/current_style.html#pragmatism)
-If a data structure literal (tuple, list, set, dict) or a line of "from" imports cannot
-fit in the allotted length, it's always split into one element per line. This minimizes
-diffs as well as enables readers of code to find which commit introduced a particular
-entry. This also makes _Black_ compatible with [isort](https://pypi.org/p/isort/) with
-the following configuration.

-```

-```
-
-</details>
-
-### Line length
-
-You probably noticed the peculiar default line length. _Black_ defaults to 88 characters
-per line, which happens to be 10% over 80. This number was found to produce
-significantly shorter files than sticking with 80 (the most popular), or even 79 (used
-by the standard library). In general,
-[90-ish seems like the wise choice](https://youtu.be/wf-BqAjZb8M?t=260).
-
-If you're paid by the line of code you write, you can pass `--line-length` with a lower
-number. _Black_ will try to respect that. However, sometimes it won't be able to without
-breaking other rules. In those rare cases, auto-formatted code will exceed your allotted
-limit.
-
-You can also increase it, but remember that people with sight disabilities find it
-harder to work with line lengths exceeding 100 characters. It also adversely affects
-side-by-side diff review on typical screen resolutions. Long lines also make it harder
-to present code neatly in documentation or talk slides.
-
-If you're using Flake8, you can bump `max-line-length` to 88 and forget about it.
-Alternatively, use [Bugbear](https://github.com/PyCQA/flake8-bugbear)'s B950 warning
-instead of E501 and keep the max line length at 80 which you are probably already using.
-You'd do it like this:
-
-```ini
-[flake8]
-max-line-length = 80
-...
-select = C,E,F,W,B,B950
-ignore = E203, E501, W503
-```
-
-You'll find _Black_'s own .flake8 config file is configured like this. Explanation of
-why W503 and E203 are disabled can be found further in this documentation. And if you're
-curious about the reasoning behind B950,
-[Bugbear's documentation](https://github.com/PyCQA/flake8-bugbear#opinionated-warnings)
-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".
-
-**If you're looking for a minimal, black-compatible flake8 configuration:**
-
-```ini
-[flake8]
-max-line-length = 88
-extend-ignore = E203
-```
-
-### Empty lines
-
-_Black_ avoids spurious vertical whitespace. This is in the spirit of PEP 8 which says
-that in-function vertical whitespace should only be used sparingly.
-
-_Black_ will allow single empty lines inside functions, and single and double empty
-lines on module level left by the original editors, except when they're within
-parenthesized expressions. Since such expressions are always reformatted to fit minimal
-space, this whitespace is lost.
-
-It will also insert proper spacing before and after function definitions. It's one line
-before and after inner functions and two lines before and after module-level functions
-and classes. _Black_ will not put empty lines between function/class definitions and
-standalone comments that immediately precede the given function/class.
-
-_Black_ will enforce single empty lines between a class-level docstring and the first
-following field or method. This conforms to
-[PEP 257](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0257/#multi-line-docstrings).
-
-_Black_ won't insert empty lines after function docstrings unless that empty line is
-required due to an inner function starting immediately after.
-
-### Trailing commas
-
-_Black_ will add trailing commas to expressions that are split by comma where each
-element is on its own line. This includes function signatures.
-
-Unnecessary trailing commas are removed if an expression fits in one line. This makes it
-1% more likely that your line won't exceed the allotted line length limit. Moreover, in
-this scenario, if you added another argument to your call, you'd probably fit it in the
-same line anyway. That doesn't make diffs any larger.
-
-One exception to removing trailing commas is tuple expressions with just one element. In
-this case _Black_ won't touch the single trailing comma as this would unexpectedly
-change the underlying data type. Note that this is also the case when commas are used
-while indexing. This is a tuple in disguise: `numpy_array[3, ]`.
-
-One exception to adding trailing commas is function signatures containing `*`, `*args`,
-or `**kwargs`. In this case a trailing comma is only safe to use on Python 3.6. _Black_
-will detect if your file is already 3.6+ only and use trailing commas in this situation.
-If you wonder how it knows, it looks for f-strings and existing use of trailing commas
-in function signatures that have stars in them. In other words, if you'd like a trailing
-comma in this situation and _Black_ didn't recognize it was safe to do so, put it there
-manually and _Black_ will keep it.
-
-### Strings
-
-_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.
-
-_Black_ also standardizes string prefixes, making them always lowercase. On top of that,
-if your code is already Python 3.6+ only or it's using the `unicode_literals` future
-import, _Black_ will remove `u` from the string prefix as it is meaningless in those
-scenarios.
-
-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/psf/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](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0257/#what-is-a-docstring). 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.
-
-If you are adopting _Black_ in a large project with pre-existing string conventions
-(like the popular
-["single quotes for data, double quotes for human-readable strings"](https://stackoverflow.com/a/56190)),
-you can pass `--skip-string-normalization` on the command line. This is meant as an
-adoption helper, avoid using this for new projects.
-
-### Numeric literals
-
-_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`.
-
-### 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.
-
-### Slices
-
-PEP 8
-[recommends](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#whitespace-in-expressions-and-statements)
-to treat `:` in slices as a binary operator with the lowest priority, and to leave an
-equal amount of space on either side, except if a parameter is omitted (e.g.
-`ham[1 + 1 :]`). It also states that for extended slices, both `:` operators have to
-have the same amount of spacing, except if a parameter is omitted (`ham[1 + 1 ::]`).
-_Black_ enforces these rules consistently.
-
-This behaviour may raise `E203 whitespace before ':'` warnings in style guide
-enforcement tools like Flake8. Since `E203` 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 (...)`
-- assignments like:
- - `target = (...)`
- - `target: type = (...)`
- - `some, *un, packing = (...)`
- - `augmented += (...)`
-
-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. If there is
-only a single delimiter and the expression starts or ends with a bracket, the
-parenthesis can also be successfully omitted since the existing bracket pair will
-organize the expression neatly anyway. Otherwise, the parentheses are added.
-
-Please note that _Black_ does not add or remove any additional nested parentheses that
-you might want to have for clarity or further code organization. For example those
-parentheses are not going to be removed:
-
-```py3
-return not (this or that)
-decision = (maybe.this() and values > 0) or (maybe.that() and values < 0)
-```
-
-### Call chains
-
-Some popular APIs, like ORMs, use call chaining. This API style is known as a
-[fluent interface](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluent_interface). _Black_ formats
-those by treating dots that follow a call or an indexing operation like a very low
-priority delimiter. It's easier to show the behavior than to explain it. Look at the
-example:
-
-```py3
-def example(session):
- result = (
- session.query(models.Customer.id)
- .filter(
- models.Customer.account_id == account_id,
- models.Customer.email == email_address,
- )
- .order_by(models.Customer.id.asc())
- .all()
- )
-```
-
-### Typing stub files
-
-PEP 484 describes the syntax for type hints in Python. One of the use cases for typing
-is providing type annotations for modules which cannot contain them directly (they might
-be written in C, or they might be third-party, or their implementation may be overly
-dynamic, and so on).
-
-To solve this,
-[stub files with the `.pyi` file extension](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0484/#stub-files)
-can be used to describe typing information for an external module. Those stub files omit
-the implementation of classes and functions they describe, instead they only contain the
-structure of the file (listing globals, functions, and classes with their members). The
-recommended code style for those files is more terse than PEP 8:
-
-- prefer `...` on the same line as the class/function signature;
-- avoid vertical whitespace between consecutive module-level functions, names, or
- methods and fields within a single class;
-- use a single blank line between top-level class definitions, or none if the classes
- are very small.
-
-_Black_ enforces the above rules. There are additional guidelines for formatting `.pyi`
-file that are not enforced yet but might be in a future version of the formatter:
-
-- all function bodies should be empty (contain `...` instead of the body);
-- do not use docstrings;
-- prefer `...` over `pass`;
-- for arguments with a default, use `...` instead of the actual default;
-- avoid using string literals in type annotations, stub files support forward references
- natively (like Python 3.7 code with `from __future__ import annotations`);
-- use variable annotations instead of type comments, even for stubs that target older
- versions of Python;
-- for arguments that default to `None`, use `Optional[]` explicitly;
-- use `float` instead of `Union[int, float]`.
-
-## pyproject.toml
+## Configuration
_Black_ is able to read project-specific default values for its command line options
from a `pyproject.toml` file. This is especially useful for specifying custom
-`--include` and `--exclude` patterns for your project.
-
-**Pro-tip**: If you're asking yourself "Do I need to configure anything?" the answer is
-"No". _Black_ is all about sensible defaults.
-
-### What on Earth is a `pyproject.toml` file?
-
-[PEP 518](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0518/) defines `pyproject.toml` as a
-configuration file to store build system requirements for Python projects. With the help
-of tools like [Poetry](https://poetry.eustace.io/) or
-[Flit](https://flit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) it can fully replace the need for
-`setup.py` and `setup.cfg` files.
-
-### Where _Black_ looks for the file
-
-By default _Black_ looks for `pyproject.toml` starting from the common base directory of
-all files and directories passed on the command line. If it's not there, it looks in
-parent directories. It stops looking when it finds the file, or a `.git` directory, or a
-`.hg` directory, or the root of the file system, whichever comes first.
-
-If you're formatting standard input, _Black_ will look for configuration starting from
-the current working directory.
-
-You can also explicitly specify the path to a particular file that you want with
-`--config`. In this situation _Black_ will not look for any other file.
-
-If you're running with `--verbose`, you will see a blue message if a file was found and
-used.
-
-Please note `blackd` will not use `pyproject.toml` configuration.
-
-### Configuration format
-
-As the file extension suggests, `pyproject.toml` is a
-[TOML](https://github.com/toml-lang/toml) file. It contains separate sections for
-different tools. _Black_ is using the `[tool.black]` section. The option keys are the
-same as long names of options on the command line.
-
-Note that you have to use single-quoted strings in TOML for regular expressions. It's
-the equivalent of r-strings in Python. Multiline strings are treated as verbose regular
-expressions by Black. Use `[ ]` to denote a significant space character.

-### Lookup hierarchy
-
-Command-line options have defaults that you can see in `--help`. A `pyproject.toml` can
-override those defaults. Finally, options provided by the user on the command line
-override both.
+`--include` and `--exclude`/`--force-exclude`/`--extend-exclude` patterns for your
+project.
-_Black_ will only ever use one `pyproject.toml` file during an entire run. It doesn't
-look for multiple files, and doesn't compose configuration from different levels of the
-file hierarchy.
+You can find more details in our documentation:

-
-### 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:
-
-- `:Black` to format the entire file (ranges not supported);
-- `:BlackUpgrade` to upgrade _Black_ inside the virtualenv;
-- `:BlackVersion` to get the current version of _Black_ inside the virtualenv.
-
-Configuration:
-
-- `g:black_fast` (defaults to `0`)
-- `g:black_linelength` (defaults to `88`)
-- `g:black_skip_string_normalization` (defaults to `0`)
-- `g:black_virtualenv` (defaults to `~/.vim/black` or `~/.local/share/nvim/black`)
-
-To install with [vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug):
-
-```
-Plug 'psf/black'
-```
-
-or with [Vundle](https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim):
-
-```
-Plugin 'psf/black'
-```
-
-or you can copy the plugin from
-[plugin/black.vim](https://github.com/psf/black/tree/master/plugin/black.vim).
-
-```
-mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/python/start/black/plugin
-curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/psf/black/master/plugin/black.vim -o ~/.vim/pack/python/start/black/plugin/black.vim
-```
-
-Let me know if this requires any changes to work with Vim 8's builtin `packadd`, or
-Pathogen, and so on.
-
-This plugin **requires Vim 7.0+ built with Python 3.6+ support**. It needs Python 3.6 to
-be able to run _Black_ inside the Vim process which is much faster than calling an
-external command.
-
-On first run, the plugin creates its own virtualenv using the right Python version and
-automatically installs _Black_. You can upgrade it later by calling `:BlackUpgrade` and
-restarting Vim.
-
-If you need to do anything special to make your virtualenv work and install _Black_ (for
-example you want to run a version from master), create a virtualenv manually and point
-`g:black_virtualenv` to it. The plugin will use it.
-
-To run _Black_ on save, add the following line to `.vimrc` or `init.vim`:
-
-```
-autocmd BufWritePre *.py execute ':Black'
-```
-
-To run _Black_ on a key press (e.g. F9 below), add this:
-
-```
-nnoremap <F9> :Black<CR>
-```
-
-**How to get Vim with Python 3.6?** On Ubuntu 17.10 Vim comes with Python 3.6 by
-default. On macOS with Homebrew run: `brew install vim --with-python3`. When building
-Vim from source, use: `./configure --enable-python3interp=yes`. There's many guides
-online how to do this.
-
-### Visual Studio Code
-
-Use the
-[Python extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-python.python)
-([instructions](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/editing#_formatting)).
-
-### SublimeText 3
-
-Use [sublack plugin](https://github.com/jgirardet/sublack).
-
-### Jupyter Notebook Magic
-
-Use [blackcellmagic](https://github.com/csurfer/blackcellmagic).
-
-### Python Language Server
-
-If your editor supports the [Language Server Protocol](https://langserver.org/) (Atom,
-Sublime Text, Visual Studio Code and many more), you can use the
-[Python Language Server](https://github.com/palantir/python-language-server) with the
-[pyls-black](https://github.com/rupert/pyls-black) plugin.
-
-### Atom/Nuclide
-
-Use [python-black](https://atom.io/packages/python-black).
-
-### Kakoune
-
-Add the following hook to your kakrc, then run black with `:format`.
-
-```
-hook global WinSetOption filetype=python %{
- set-option window formatcmd 'black -q -'
-}
-```
-
-### Other editors
-
-Other editors will require external contributions.
-
-Patches welcome! ✨ 🍰 ✨
-
-Any tool that can pipe code through _Black_ using its stdio mode (just
-[use `-` as the file name](https://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/special-chars.html#DASHREF2)).
-The formatted code will be returned on stdout (unless `--check` was passed). _Black_
-will still emit messages on stderr but that shouldn't affect your use case.
-
-This can be used for example with PyCharm's or IntelliJ's
-[File Watchers](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/file-watchers.html).
-
-## blackd
-
-`blackd` is a small HTTP server that exposes _Black_'s functionality over a simple
-protocol. The main benefit of using it is to avoid paying the cost of starting up a new
-_Black_ process every time you want to blacken a file.
-
-### Usage
-
-`blackd` is not packaged alongside _Black_ by default because it has additional
-dependencies. You will need to do `pip install black[d]` to install it.
-
-You can start the server on the default port, binding only to the local interface by
-running `blackd`. You will see a single line mentioning the server's version, and the
-host and port it's listening on. `blackd` will then print an access log similar to most
-web servers on standard output, merged with any exception traces caused by invalid
-formatting requests.
-
-`blackd` provides even less options than _Black_. You can see them by running
-`blackd --help`:
-
-```text
-Usage: blackd [OPTIONS]
-
-Options:
- --bind-host TEXT Address to bind the server to.
- --bind-port INTEGER Port to listen on
- --version Show the version and exit.
- -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 should
-contain the python source code to be formatted, encoded according to the `charset` field
-in the `Content-Type` request header. If no `charset` is specified, `blackd` assumes
-`UTF-8`.
-
-There are a few HTTP headers that control how the source is formatted. These correspond
-to command line flags for _Black_. There is one exception to this: `X-Protocol-Version`
-which if present, should have the value `1`, otherwise the request is rejected with
-`HTTP 501` (Not Implemented).
-
-The headers controlling how code is formatted are:
-
-- `X-Line-Length`: corresponds to the `--line-length` command line flag.
-- `X-Skip-String-Normalization`: corresponds to the `--skip-string-normalization`
- command line flag. If present and its value is not the empty string, no string
- normalization will be performed.
-- `X-Fast-Or-Safe`: if set to `fast`, `blackd` will act as _Black_ does when passed the
- `--fast` command line flag.
-- `X-Python-Variant`: if set to `pyi`, `blackd` will act as _Black_ does when passed the
- `--pyi` command line flag. Otherwise, its value must correspond to a Python version or
- a set of comma-separated Python versions, optionally prefixed with `py`. For example,
- to request code that is compatible with Python 3.5 and 3.6, set the header to
- `py3.5,py3.6`.
-- `X-Diff`: corresponds to the `--diff` command line flag. If present, a diff of the
- formats will be output.
-
-If any of these headers are set to invalid values, `blackd` returns a `HTTP 400` error
-response, mentioning the name of the problematic header in the message body.
-
-Apart from the above, `blackd` can produce the following response codes:
-
-- `HTTP 204`: If the input is already well-formatted. The response body is empty.
-- `HTTP 200`: If formatting was needed on the input. The response body contains the
- blackened Python code, and the `Content-Type` header is set accordingly.
-- `HTTP 400`: If the input contains a syntax error. Details of the error are returned in
- the response body.
-- `HTTP 500`: If there was any kind of error while trying to format the input. The
- response body contains a textual representation of the error.
-
-The response headers include a `X-Black-Version` header containing the version of
-_Black_.
-
-## 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/psf/black
- rev: stable
- hooks:
- - id: black
- language_version: python3.6
-```
-
-Then run `pre-commit install` and you're ready to go.
-
-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](/pyproject.toml) for an example.
-
-If you're already using Python 3.7, switch the `language_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 unmodified files
-
-_Black_ remembers files it has 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.<line-length>.<file-mode>.pickle`
-- macOS:
- `/Users/<username>/Library/Caches/black/<version>/cache.<line-length>.<file-mode>.pickle`
-- Linux:
- `/home/<username>/.cache/black/<version>/cache.<line-length>.<file-mode>.pickle`
-
-`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>/`.
+**Pro-tip**: If you're asking yourself "Do I need to configure anything?" the answer is
+"No". _Black_ is all about sensible defaults. Applying those defaults will have your
+code in compliance with many other _Black_ formatted projects.
## 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), pandas, Pillow, every Datadog
-Agent Integration.
+Poetry, PyPA applications (Warehouse, Bandersnatch, Pipenv, virtualenv), pandas, Pillow,

-## Contributing to _Black_
-
-In terms of inspiration, _Black_ is about as configurable as _gofmt_. This is
-deliberate.
-
-Bug reports and fixes are always welcome! However, before you suggest a new feature or
-configuration knob, ask yourself why you want it. If it enables better integration with
-some workflow, fixes an inconsistency, speeds things up, and so on - go for it! On the
-other hand, if your answer is "because I don't like a particular formatting" then you're
-not ready to embrace _Black_ yet. Such changes are unlikely to get accepted. You can
-still try but prepare to be disappointed.
