Flake8 took down the gitlab repository in favor of github
So if your pre-commit starts to mysteriously fail, you probably want to switch https://gitlab.com/PyCQA/flake8 for https://github.com/PyCQA/flake8 in your .pre-commit-config.yaml (like here)
to be transparent -- https://github.com/PyCQA/flake8/issues/371

Python 3.11.0 final is now available
That probably won't happen any time soon.
See https://github.com/PyCQA/flake8/issues/234#issuecomment-1206...

Python 3.11 is out! Huzzah!
Does this mean the maintainer of Flake8 will stop being a stubborn oaf and consider pyproject.toml support?

Project template for modern Python packages
Regarding setup.cfg, it's currently used for flake8 related configuration. Flake8 doesn't support pyproject.toml: https://github.com/PyCQA/flake8/issues/234. There are some workarounds, such as https://github.com/john-hen/Flake8-pyproject, but, in my opinion, getting rid of additional config file doesn't really justify additional dependency. However, as setup.cfg is currently used only for flake8 related configs, perhaps it could be replaced by .flake8 file.

The Ruff python linter is insanely good
The whole point of Black is that it's opinionated and that it knows better than you. I can always recommend you read the single quotes incident on GitHub to gain more insight about what Black really is: https://github.com/psf/black/issues/118

“Don’t listen to language designers”
Indentation is fine for a presentation layer and indeed prettifiers like black are a good thing. But once you start picking up fragments of code and moving them around, it's much easier to have that interaction when there are visible symbols demarcating the nesting structure.

Do I have to do this line by line…please say there is a quick way to do this
A good tool that i use to automatically indent my lines of code for python is 'Black'. https://github.com/psf/black
Even better, set pycharm to use Black and never spend time with formatting again.
Let black do it for you
