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. Otherwise, the parentheses are always added. + +### 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]`. ## Editor integration @@ -277,6 +387,36 @@ between consistency and legibility.
