Can I configure black to ignore specific directories, such as venv

[Mariatta]

For example I want to be able to do:
black . --exclude=venv

to format everything, but ignore things under ./venv

Or is this possible already, but I didn't know how yet?

Thanks.

Great! Thanks @jgirardet exactly what I need :) (just waiting for it to be in PyPI now ..)

For those like me coming from google:

  --exclude TEXT                  A regular expression that matches files and
                                  directories that should be excluded on
                                  recursive searches. An empty value means no
                                  paths are excluded. Use forward slashes for
                                  directories on all platforms (Windows, too).
                                  By default, Black also ignores all paths
                                  listed in .gitignore. Changing this value
                                  will override all default exclusions.
                                  [default: /(\.direnv|\.eggs|\.git|\.hg|\.ipy
                                  nb_checkpoints|\.mypy_cache|\.nox|\.pytest_c
                                  ache|\.ruff_cache|\.tox|\.svn|\.venv|\.vscod
                                  e|__pypackages__|_build|buck-
                                  out|build|dist|venv)/]
  --extend-exclude TEXT           Like --exclude, but adds additional files
                                  and directories on top of the default values
                                  instead of overriding them.
  --force-exclude TEXT            Like --exclude, but files and directories
                                  matching this regex will be excluded even
                                  when they are passed explicitly as
                                  arguments. This is useful when invoking
                                  Black programmatically on changed files,
                                  such as in a pre-commit hook or editor
                                  plugin.
