This will hide the version requirements if python3 support is not available. I think it will be more useful to use:

if v:version < 700
    ...
elseif !has('python3')
    ...
endif

Of course with this if you had very old vim and you get vim 7+ without python3 support you will find about the python3 support on the second try. The current error message avoid this issue by displaying both requirements, but fail to explain what is the actual issue.

We can do something like this:

Vim is too old:

Vim {version} is too old.
The black.vim plugin requires Vim 7.0+ with python3 support.

Python3 is missing:

Python3 support is not available.
The black.vim plugin requires Vim 7.0+ with python3 support.

It looks like this function is defined when both check pass, but it should be define only if any of the checks did not pass.

Also BlackNotSupported looks like a public name that a user may call from the vim prompt line. The original function has a __ prefix.

How about something like this:

if version is too:
    define __BlackNotSupported with version error message
elif python3 suppoort is mising:
    define __BlackNotSupported with python3 error message

if __BlackNotSupported is defined:
    define Black, BlackUpgrade, BlackVersion functions
