Black is slowly creeping into gofmt-level universality in the Python community and it’s great. The next big milestone is a first-party recommendation by python.org itself.

I'm pretty sure it's a PSF project

No, the next big milestone is embedding the format style as the syntax of the language. I'm curious as to why Go didn't even do this (they should have, in my opinion, but wimped out and left it to an external tool).

If they change

    print(repr('some string'))

to print

    "some string"

instead of

    'some string'

then that would remove the only hangup about Black that I have.
