_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.
+#### Install from GitHub
+
+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}
```
+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_ reformats entire files in place. It is not configurable. It doesn't take

-
-_Black_ ignores previous formatting and applies uniform horizontal and vertical
-whitespace to your code. The rules for horizontal whitespace can be summarized as: do

-strict subset of PEP 8.
+### Using _Black_ with other tools
-As for vertical whitespace, _Black_ tries to render one full expression or simple
-statement per line. If this fits the allotted line length, great.
+While _Black_ enforces formatting that conforms to PEP 8, other tools may raise warnings
+about _Black_'s changes or will overwrite _Black_'s changes. A good example of this is
+[isort](https://pypi.org/p/isort). Since _Black_ is barely configurable, these tools
+should be configured to neither warn about nor overwrite _Black_'s changes.

+### Migrating your code style without ruining git blame
-# out:
+A long-standing argument against moving to automated code formatters like _Black_ is
+that the migration will clutter up the output of `git blame`. This was a valid argument,
+but since Git version 2.23, Git natively supports
+[ignoring revisions in blame](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-blame#Documentation/git-blame.txt---ignore-revltrevgt)
+with the `--ignore-rev` option. You can also pass a file listing the revisions to ignore
+using the `--ignore-revs-file` option. The changes made by the revision will be ignored
+when assigning blame. Lines modified by an ignored revision will be blamed on the
+previous revision that modified those lines.

-
-If not, _Black_ will look at the contents of the first outer matching brackets and put
-that in a separate indented line.
-
-```py3

+So when migrating your project's code style to _Black_, reformat everything and commit
+the changes (preferably in one massive commit). Then put the full 40 characters commit
+identifier(s) into a file.

-
-# out:
-
-ImportantClass.important_method(
- exc, limit, lookup_lines, capture_locals, extra_argument

```
-
-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.

-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).
-
-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

-### 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
-```
+**The one caveat is that GitHub and GitLab do not yet support ignoring revisions using
+their native UI of blame.** So blame information will be cluttered with a reformatting
+commit on those platforms. (If you'd like this feature, there's an open issue for
+[GitLab](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/31423) and please let GitHub
+know!)
-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".
+### NOTE: This is a beta product
-**If you're looking for a minimal, black-compatible flake8 configuration:**
+_Black_ is already [successfully used](https://github.com/psf/black#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

+produces a valid AST that is equivalent to the original. This slows it down. If you're
+feeling confident, use `--fast`.
-### Empty lines
+## The _Black_ code style
-_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.
+_Black_ is a PEP 8 compliant opinionated formatter. _Black_ reformats entire files in
+place. It is not configurable. It doesn't take previous formatting into account. Your
+main option of configuring _Black_ is that 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. To learn more about _Black_'s opinions, to go
+[the_black_code_style](https://github.com/psf/black/blob/master/docs/the_black_code_style.md).
-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.
+Please refer to this document before submitting an issue. What seems like a bug might be
+intended behaviour.
-_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)
-```
+## Pragmatism
-### 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()
- )
-```
+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. This
+[section](https://github.com/psf/black/blob/master/docs/the_black_code_style.md#pragmatism)
+of `the_black_code_style` describes what those exceptions are and why this is the case.
-### 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]`.

-### 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:
+_Black_ can be integrated into many editors with plugins. They let you run _Black_ on
+your code with the ease of doing it in your editor. To get started using _Black_ in your
+editor of choice, please see
+[editor_integration](https://github.com/psf/black/blob/master/docs/editor_integration.md).
-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 :Black
-```
-
-**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`. 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 -'
-}
-```
-
-### Thonny
-
-Use [Thonny-black-code-format](https://github.com/Franccisco/thonny-black-code-format).
-
-### Other editors
-
-Other editors will require external contributions.
-
-Patches welcome! ⨠ð° â¨
-
-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).
+Patches are welcome for editors without an editor integration or plugin! More
+information can be found in
+[editor_integration](https://github.com/psf/black/blob/master/docs/editor_integration.md#other-editors).
## 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
+Black process every time you want to blacken a file. Please refer to
+[blackd](https://github.com/psf/black/blob/master/docs/blackd.md) to get the ball
+rolling.
-`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.
+## black-primer
-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.
+`black-primer` is a tool built for CI (and humans) to have _Black_ `--check` a number of
+(configured in `primer.json`) Git accessible projects in parallel.
+[black_primer](https://github.com/psf/black/blob/master/docs/black_primer.md) has more
+information regarding its usage and configuration.
-`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_.
