January 22-28, 2023 in Darker: F-string conversion and improved documentation

[akaihola]

This week, we made significant progress in enhancing our code modernization capabilities and improving our documentation. The long-awaited f-string conversion feature using flynt was merged (PR #308), addressing issue #266. This new addition allows Darker to automatically convert old string literal formatting to f-strings, expanding our toolkit for updating Python code.

We also focused on improving our documentation and clarifying configuration options. PR #432 was merged, providing clearer explanations for configuring reformatter and linter tools in both the README and --help output. This addresses issue #399, clarifying that the -c option is used only for Black and isort, while linter configurations are handled separately. Additionally, we've resumed work on implementing pyupgrade support (PR #51), which aims to automatically upgrade syntax for newer versions of Python. This feature is still in the draft stage, and we're considering how to integrate it with our existing tools and workflow.
