Kami opened a new issue #1623:
URL: https://github.com/apache/libcloud/issues/1623


   I think it's time to finally move away from our "home grown" coding style 
and rules and move to something better a lot of other Python projects use (aka 
black - https://github.com/psf/black).
   
   The actual commit / change which reformats all the existing code will be 
disruptive, but I don't think there is much we can do it and we should probably 
do it sooner than later.
   
   Main problem with such change is that it will likely cause issues with some 
of the open PRs and in issues with forks which have non-upstreamed changes (aka 
are out of sync with upstream) - there may be merge conflicts which will need 
to be manually resolved when trying to get PR / fork in sync with upstream.
   
   I think now it's about the right time since most of the active PRs will be 
merged soon so this will cause the least disruption in this regard.
   
   We did a similar change in another project not too long ago (StackStorm/st2) 
and it wasn't too disruptive. But the difference is that StackStorm is a 
platform and not a library and there are likely not that many out of sync forks 
out there compared to Libcloud.
