Thanks for the pointers, I stand corrected. OP could continue this debate if that’s his passion. I bow out.
Meanwhile, I’ll happily enforce black where I can so that I don’t need to have these pointless arguments, although I personally strongly disagree with many of its decisions. I also have no problem contributing to whatever non-blackened projects, including CPython itself (contributed quite a few patches over the years), which is probably the final word on PEP8.
