There is no harm in everything looking the same; on the contrary, new people 
familiar with other codebases can contribute more easily because stuff looks 
the same — and since it’s automated, no PR ever gets round-tripped because of 
some formatting nitpick.

In fact, I can’t think of a concrete reason why a codebase should be allowed to 
look different from other codebases. The dictator in this case is really PEP 8, 
black is just its henchman. This approach is quite pythonic.
