August 2-8, 2020 in Darker: Refining Features and Closing Issues

[akaihola]

This week saw Darker's development team focusing on refining existing features and addressing user feedback. Several issues were closed, indicating progress towards a more stable and user-friendly project. The team engaged in discussions about potential improvements and decided against some proposed changes.

One significant decision was to postpone switching from argparse to click for command-line argument parsing (#47). After considering the pros and cons, the maintainers concluded that argparse currently meets the project's needs, avoiding the introduction of an additional dependency. This decision aligns with Darker's goal of maintaining simplicity and minimizing external dependencies.

Documentation improvements were also on the agenda, with discussions about extending the README to include more detailed information about the --diff flag (#27). This change aims to enhance user understanding of Darker's functionality and usage. Additionally, an issue regarding absolute paths in --diff output was closed (#34), suggesting that the team has addressed or decided not to change this behavior.

The community continued to provide valuable input, with discussions around supporting CI setups with a "compare to main branch" option (#41). While this issue was closed, it demonstrates the ongoing consideration of user needs in different development environments. As Darker continues to evolve, the team remains committed to balancing feature additions with maintaining a streamlined and efficient tool for code formatting.
