*Black* is a well-behaved Unix-style command-line tool:
### NOTE: This is a beta product
-*Black* is already successfully used by several projects, small and big.
+*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.
*Black* reformats entire files in place. It is not configurable. It
doesn't take previous formatting into account. It doesn't reformat

recognizes [YAPF](https://github.com/google/yapf)'s block comments to
the same effect, as a courtesy for straddling code.

+after module-level functions and classes. *Black* will not put empty
+lines between function/class definitions and standalone comments that

+*Black* will enforce single empty lines between a class-level docstring

+[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

### Trailing commas
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).

On top of this, double quotes for strings are consistent with C which
Python interacts a lot with.
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
* use `float` instead of `Union[int, float]`.
+## pyproject.toml
+
+*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.
+
+<details>
+<summary>Example `pyproject.toml`</summary>
+
+```toml
+[tool.black]
+line-length = 88
+target-version = ['py37']
+include = '\.pyi?$'
+exclude = '''
+
+(
+ /(
+ \.eggs # exclude a few common directories in the
+ | \.git # root of the project
+ | \.hg
+ | \.mypy_cache
+ | \.tox
+ | \.venv
+ | _build
+ | buck-out
+ | build
+ | dist
+ )/
+ | foo.py # also separately exclude a file named foo.py in
+ # the root of the project
+)
+'''
+```
+
+</details>
+
+### 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.
+
+*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.

+
+## 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`.
+
+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*.

Then run `pre-commit install` and you're ready to go.
-`args` in the above config is optional but shows you how you can change

-that is pinned to the latest release on PyPI. If you'd rather run on
-master, this is also an option.
+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.

## 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
+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>.pickle`
-* macOS: `/Users/<username>/Library/Caches/black/<version>/cache.<line-length>.pickle`
-* Linux: `/home/<username>/.cache/black/<version>/cache.<line-length>.pickle`
+* 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>/`.
+
+## 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.

+### 18.9b0
+
+* numeric literals are now formatted by *Black* (#452, #461, #464, #469):
+
+ * numeric literals are normalized to include `_` separators on Python 3.6+ code
+
+ * added `--skip-numeric-underscore-normalization` to disable the above behavior and
+ leave numeric underscores as they were in the input

+
+* trailing comma is now added to single imports that don't fit on a line (#250)
