Some folks like black but I prefer blue .
blue is a somewhat less uncompromising code formatter than black , the OG of Python formatters. We love the idea of automatically formatting Python code, for the same reasons that inspired black , however we take issue with some of the decisions black makes. Kudos to black for pioneering code formatting for Python, and for its excellent implementation.
Where the blue maintainers disagree with the stylistic (and unconfigurable) choices made by black , we monkeypatch to change these decisions to our own liking. We intend for these differences to be minimal; even in cases where we’d prefer something different, there’s a lot we can live with for the sake of consistency.
