And to add to this, black's obsession with replacing my nice clean '''
with horrible noisy """ is, alone, reason for me to refuse to use it.
Again, Heuer's Razor:
If it can't be turned off, it's not a feature. - Karl Heuer
Black is for people who want consistent formatting (it certainly eases
diff churn etc once the formatting is done) but _don't_ care about
style.
I remain a big fan of yapf, and use it by default.
