Code formatting with Black — Perfect Python

Welcome to Perfect Python, the series where I show you how to take your code to the next level — perfection.

In this episode we'll be talking about code formatting using Black. Code formatting is important as it provides any outside viewers and contributors with a standardised code base that is both readable and maintainable.

3:30 There is something for strings: I know this from many projects and then quotes are not changed. This is very useful.

[farazahmed]

that is so useful, please also make a video on automatic formatting using black by pressing alt + shift + F.

5:22 It didn't change the quotes inside because that would change the actual variable: A string that contains " is different for a string that contains '.
