+_Black_ is the uncompromising Python code formatter. By using it, you agree to cede
+control over minutiae of hand-formatting. In return, _Black_ gives you speed,
+determinism, and freedom from `pycodestyle` nagging about formatting. You will save time
+and mental energy for more important matters.
+
+Blackened code looks the same regardless of the project you're reading. Formatting

-```text
-black [OPTIONS] [SRC]...
-
-Options:
-  -l, --line-length INTEGER   Where to wrap around.  [default: 88]

-  --version                   Show the version and exit.
-  --help                      Show this message and exit.
-```
-
-*Black* is a well-behaved Unix-style command-line tool:
-* 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 occured (or `--check` was
-  used).
-
-
-### NOTE: This is an early pre-release
-
-*Black* can already successfully format itself and the standard library.
-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.
-What this means for you is that **until the formatter becomes stable,
-you should expect some formatting to change in the future**.
-
-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``.
-
-
-## The *Black* code style
+You can run _Black_ as a package if running it as a script doesn't work:

 
 

-*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`.  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 are pretty obvious and 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:
-
-l = [1,
-     2,
-     3,
-]
-
-# out:
-
-l = [1, 2, 3]
+```sh
+python -m black {source_file_or_directory}

 ```
 
 ```
 

-If not, *Black* will look at the contents of the first outer matching
-brackets and put that in a separate indented line.
-```py3
-# in:
-
-l = [[n for n in list_bosses()], [n for n in list_employees()]]
-
-# out:
+Further information can be found in our docs:

 
 

-l = [
-    [n for n in list_bosses()], [n for n in list_employees()]
-]
-```
+- [Usage and Configuration](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage_and_configuration/index.html)

 
 

-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, 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,
-    debug: bool = False,
-):
-    """Applies `variables` to the `template` and writes to `file`."""
-    with open(file, "w") as f:
-        ...
-```
+_Black_ is already [successfully used](https://github.com/psf/black#used-by) by many
+projects, small and big. _Black_ has a comprehensive test suite, with efficient parallel
+tests, and our own auto formatting and parallel Continuous Integration runner. Now that
+we have become stable, you should not expect large formatting to changes in the future.
+Stylistic changes will mostly be responses to bug reports and support for new Python
+syntax. For more information please refer to the
+[The Black Code Style](docs/the_black_code_style/index.rst).

 
 

-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).
-
-
-### 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 = E501
-```
+Also, as a safety measure which slows down processing, _Black_ will check that the
+reformatted code still produces a valid AST that is effectively equivalent to the
+original (see the
+[Pragmatism](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/the_black_code_style/current_style.html#ast-before-and-after-formatting)
+section for details). If you're feeling confident, use `--fast`.

 
 

-You'll find *Black*'s own .flake8 config file is configured like this.
-If you're curious about the reasoning behind B950, Bugbear's documentation
-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".
+## The _Black_ code style

 
 

+_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).

 
 

-### Empty lines
+Our documentation covers the current _Black_ code style, but planned changes to it are
+also documented. They're both worth taking a look:

 
 

-*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.  One exception is control flow statements: *Black* will
-always emit an extra empty line after ``return``, ``raise``, ``break``,
-``continue``, and ``yield``.  This is to make changes in control flow
-more prominent to readers of your code.
+- [The _Black_ Code Style: Current style](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/the_black_code_style/current_style.html)
+- [The _Black_ Code Style: Future style](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/the_black_code_style/future_style.html)

 
 

-*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.
+Please refer to this document before submitting an issue. What seems like a bug might be
+intended behaviour.

 
 

-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.  *Black* will put those empty lines also
-between the function definition and any standalone comments that
-immediately precede the given function.  If you want to comment on the
-entire function, use a docstring or put a leading comment in the function
-body.
+### Pragmatism

 
 

+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.

 
 

-### Trailing commas
+- [The _Black_ code style: Pragmatism](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/the_black_code_style/current_style.html#pragmatism)

 
 

-*Black* will add trailing commas to expressions that are split
-by comma where each element is on its own line.  This includes function
-signatures.
+Please refer to this document before submitting an issue just like with the document
+above. What seems like a bug might be intended behaviour.

 
 

-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.
+## Configuration

 
 

-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, ]```.
+_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`/`--force-exclude`/`--extend-exclude` patterns for your
+project.

 
 

-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.
+You can find more details in our documentation:

 
 

-### Strings
+- [The basics: Configuration via a file](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage_and_configuration/the_basics.html#configuration-via-a-file)

 
 

-*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.
+And if you're looking for more general configuration documentation:

 
 

-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).
+- [Usage and Configuration](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage_and_configuration/index.html)

 
 

-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.
+**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.

 
 

-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.
+## 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, Bandersnatch, Pipenv, virtualenv), pandas, Pillow,
+Twisted, LocalStack, every Datadog Agent Integration, Home Assistant, Zulip, Kedro,
+OpenOA, FLORIS, ORBIT, WOMBAT, and many more.

 
 

-## Editor integration
+The following organizations use _Black_: Facebook, Dropbox, KeepTruckin, Mozilla, Quora,
+Duolingo, QuantumBlack, Tesla.

 
 

-### Emacs
+Are we missing anyone? Let us know.

 
 

-Use [proofit404/blacken](https://github.com/proofit404/blacken).
-
-
-### Vim
-
-Commands and shortcuts:
-
-* `,=` or `: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_virtualenv` (defaults to `~/.vim/black`)
-
-To install, copy the plugin from [vim/plugin/black.vim](https://github.com/ambv/black/tree/master/vim/plugin/black.vim).
-Let me know if this requires any changes to work with Vim 8's builtin
-`packadd`, or Pathogen, or Vundle, 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), just
-create a virtualenv manually and point `g:black_virtualenv` to it.
-The plugin will use it.
-
-**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 [joslarson.black-vscode](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=joslarson.black-vscode).
-
-
-### Other editors
-
-Atom/Nuclide integration is planned by the author, others will
-require external contributions.
-
-Patches welcome! ✨ 🍰 ✨
-
-Any tool that can pipe code through *Black* using its stdio mode (just
-[use `-` as the file name](http://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 [File Watchers](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/file-watchers.html).

-## Contributing to Black
-
-In terms of inspiration, *Black* is about as configurable as *gofmt* and
-*rustfmt* are.  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.

-* added ability to pipe formatting from stdin to stdin (#25)
+## Change log

 
 

-* restored ability to format code with legacy usage of `async` as
-  a name (#20, #42)
+The log has become rather long. It moved to its own file.

 
 

-* even better handling of numpy-style array indexing (#33, again)

+## Authors

 
 

-### 18.3a2
-
-* changed positioning of binary operators to occur at beginning of lines
-  instead of at the end, following [a recent change to PEP8](https://github.com/python/peps/commit/c59c4376ad233a62ca4b3a6060c81368bd21e85b)
-  (#21)
-
-* ignore empty bracket pairs while splitting. This avoids very weirdly
-  looking formattings (#34, #35)
-
-* remove a trailing comma if there is a single argument to a call
-
-* if top level functions were separated by a comment, don't put four
-  empty lines after the upper function
-
-* fixed unstable formatting of newlines with imports
-
-* fixed unintentional folding of post scriptum standalone comments
-  into last statement if it was a simple statement (#18, #28)
-
-* fixed missing space in numpy-style array indexing (#33)
-
-* fixed spurious space after star-based unary expressions (#31)
-
-
-### 18.3a1
-
-* added `--check`
-
-* only put trailing commas in function signatures and calls if it's
-  safe to do so. If the file is Python 3.6+ it's always safe, otherwise
-  only safe if there are no `*args` or `**kwargs` used in the signature
-  or call. (#8)
-
-* fixed invalid spacing of dots in relative imports (#6, #13)
-
-* fixed invalid splitting after comma on unpacked variables in for-loops
-  (#23)
-
-* fixed spurious space in parenthesized set expressions (#7)
-
-* fixed spurious space after opening parentheses and in default
-  arguments (#14, #17)
-
-* fixed spurious space after unary operators when the operand was
-  a complex expression (#15)
-
-
-### 18.3a0
-
-* first published version, Happy 🍰 Day 2018!
-
-* alpha quality
-
-* date-versioned (see: https://calver.org/)
