Using the "black" code formatter in Python

The video tutorial introduces Black, a code formatter for Python, highlighting its widespread adoption despite being in beta. Black is unique as it has no settings, ensuring consistent formatting across codebases, which enhances readability and reduces cognitive load for developers. It adheres to a strict subset of the Python style guide, maintaining code within 88 characters per line and normalizing various elements. While Black has configurable parameters, they are rarely needed, as the default settings are generally sufficient.
