Black: An uncompromising Python code formatter

Re:Black: An uncompromising Python code formatter by jsmeaton on Friday May 25, 2018 @05:58PM (#17158355)

I have to admit that I was very excited to begin enforcing black on all of our projects at work - until the double quotes decision. I’m used to single quotes everywhere (except docstrings!).

I’m probably going to still move to black but I know I’m likely to face some pushback now on this one choice, and I don’t yet have the will to defend it.

I also know I’m being mostly unreasonable .. “why is this opinionated tool not perfectly aligned with MY opinions??” .. but feelings.

The double quotes are the only thing that bother me as well. Double quotes are harder to type (on my keyboards) and look more noisy. All other Black formatting I think I could live with. I suppose I can live with double quotes on strings too but I'm not going to like it. ;-)
