I had my concerns when I saw Python Black promoted in other quite some time ago, and the same concern strikes me now I revisited it.

I strongly oppose Python Black adoption for this reason:


88 char line lengths is a table stakes deal breaker for me (and I suspect others), and since the black project relies on no exceptions or discussions about details, this makes it a non-starter.

-1 for me.

Hi everyone,

Black is project to format Python code. It's more and more used by the python

versus double quote, that was not checked by pep8.i It's just an example of
what make  black With a pre-hook commit hook this will be also avoid to lose
time with pep8 errors.

I think it can be very interesting to start to use Black on OpenStack. What
do you thinks about that? For example, we can introduce it on some projects, I
would volunteer to try on TripleO.

My best regards
