you would not believe the amount of time i spent pretty-printing python dicts by hand last week
I also had `j2p` and `p2j` that would convert between python (formatted via black) and json (formatted via jq), and the `j2p_clip`/`p2j_clip` versions that would pipe from clipboard and back into clipboards.
It's worth taking the time to build a few simple scripts for things you do a lot. I used to open up the repl and import json to convert between json and python dicts multiple times a day, so spending a few minutes throwing together a simple script to do it was well worth the effort.

> If a data structure literal (tuple, list, set, dict) or a line of “from” imports cannot fit in the allotted length, it’s always split into one element per line.
i'm not interested in minimizing diffs. i'm interested in being able to see all the fields of one record on one screen—moreover, i'd like to be able to see more than one record at a time so i can compare what's the same and what's different
black seems to be designed for the kind of person who always eats at mcdonald's when they travel because they value predictability over quality
For aligned column readability and other scenarios, # fmt: off and # fmt: on become crucial. The problem is that like # type: ignore, those start spreading if you're not careful.
Other than that, I actually quite like its formatting choices.
