Tool doesn't honor black preferences about blacken-docs HOT 5 CLOSED

it probably could manually but wasn't implemented as black doesn't expose their config loading code (and many of black's options are irrelevant or even incorrect for blacken-docs (such as file filtering)) -- a patch would be accepted for the three supported options: -l / -t / -S

from blacken-docs.

Instead of calling black through python this tool could call black through subprocess.Popen and pass the string to format through stdin. This allows leveraging all black configuration features with low effort of maintaining since this approach uses the official interface.

I can prepare a PR for that if this change is wanted.

While keeping multiple configuration files in sync is extremly error prone.

feel free to fork the software if you want to maintain such a thing. I cannot accept that trade off and it will not work correctly in all cases given what I said in the comment directly above yours
