+The built-in black formatter knows how to format python code.
+If you aren't familiar with basic codefmt usage yet, see main.vroom first.

+We'll set up codefmt and configure the vroom environment, then jump into some

+The black formatter expects the black executable to be installed on your
+system.
+
+  % f()
+  :FormatCode black
+  ! black .*

+
+The name or path of the black executable can be configured via the
+black_executable flag if the default of "black" doesn't work.

+You can format any buffer with black specifying the formatter explicitly.

+
+  :FormatCode black
+  ! black .*
+  $ if True:
+  $     pass
+  if True:

+  |else: bar-=1;
+
+  :FormatCode black
+  ! black .*
+  $ some_tuple = (1, 2, 3, "a");
