"correct"? Reformat, sure. "correct" is in the eye of the beholder, and 
'black" is a very unforgiving beholder. I use yapf for my personal code, 
and it would might fold the lines above because it uses weights to make 
some of these decisions.

"black" enforces a very rigid interpretation of PEP8. "yapf" is more 
flexible, and has many knobs to adjust its behaviour - its defaults are 
basicly PEP8 and indeed you can define a style as "start with PEP8 but 
make these changes", which is how I've defined my personal style for 
"yapf".
