But you're probably better off with Ruff these days: https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/

Similar to black but faster, written in Rust, by the same team who created uv.

So... A: not trivial. And B: not part of the language.

> mean this isn't true, formatting is the most trivial part. And so many languages have an opinionated formatter these days (e.g. Black)

I don't think this is correct

This back-and-forth is a good example of why Go benefits from having a centralized linter. And uv isn't the official Python package manager even though it should be.

I don't get why this is a big issue. This isn't some recurrent decision to be made. It's something a lead decides once and the project follows. That's it. Many companies have style guides anyway (eg Google[1]); the choice of a formatter is much simpler.

		Because at some point you have to interact with some other team or project that made a different decision. And whatever you picked might fall out of favor and lose support. There's already a graveyard of Python type linters, including Google's pytype. Especially the uv thing. You clone some non-uv git repo that has no pyproject.toml and you don't know what to install. Maybe has requirements.txt but it's partially wrong.
