About the Project

The black-configparser ia yet another tool (next to brunette, white, and maybe a few more out there), which tries to fill the gap of missing setup.cfg (or just any other non-pyproject.toml) config file.

Why it is different?

Unlike other tools, tries to stay dumb simple and add only minimum needed overhead to black usage.

1. It is seamless - it works on the same CLI command - black - just passing logic through some extra code!
2. There is no complex argument processing, if config file is present, the values set there are passed directly to black.
3. Code of this tool is independent from black insides and will work properly as long as black won't make any braking changes in its command line options.

Installation

pip install black-configparser

Usage

• Supported configuration files: setup.cfg, tox.ini.
• Configuration file section: [black] or [tools:black].

Important! :warning:

When you black-configparser finds black configuration in file, most command line arguments won't be available anymore, except: --check, --code, --diff, --help, --verbose & --version.

Example configuration

[black]
line-length = 120
target-version =
  py27
  py33
  py34
  py35
  py36
  py37
  py38
pyi = True
skip-string-normalization = True
color = True
include = \.pyi?$
exclude = /(\.direnv|\.eggs|\.git|\.hg|\.mypy_cache|\.nox|\.tox|\.venv|\.svn|_build|buck-out|build|dist)/]
force-exclude = lorem ipsum
quiet = True
verbose = True

• Almost any option available for black (black --help) can be put onto config file.
• Values for multi-value arguments must be one per line (separated by \n char).
• Flags (arguments without values) must be set in config file as = True.

Known issues

• Undefined behavior, when one of allowed CLI arguments will be also put inside config file.
• After black-configparser package is uninstalled, the black command does not work anymore and black package must be reinstalled.
