Description
It is not a bug, just a feedback. I start to use black for a project with math formula and I think black sometimes makes the code less readable.
Two simple examples:
Equations not fitting on one line
if True: if True: PK1_fft = np.real( + vx_fft.conj() * fx_fft + vy_fft.conj() * fy_fft + vz_fft.conj() * fz_fft )is transformed byblack -l 82 into
if True: if True: PK1_fft = np.real( +vx_fft.conj() * fx_fft + vy_fft.conj() * fy_fft + vz_fft.conj() * fz_fft )The result is clearly less readable. It would be nice that black keeps the code as it is in such cases.
Spaces around pow operator
result = 2 * x**2 + 3 * x**(2/3)is transformed byblack into
result = 2 * x ** 2 + 3 * x ** (2 / 3)which is less readable.
It seems to me it would make sense to allow "no space around**" because of the high precedence of the exponentiation (https://docs.python.org/3/reference/expressions.html#operator-precedence).
