‼️ ACTION REQUIRED ‼️

We've switched our code formatter from YAPF to Black (see #21311).

To prevent issues with merging your code, here's what you'll need to do:

1. Install Black

pip install -I black==21.12b0

2. Format changed files with Black

curl -o format-changed.sh https://gist.githubusercontent.com/bveeramani/42ef0e9e387b755a8a735b084af976f2/raw/7631276790765d555c423b8db2b679fd957b984a/format-changed.sh
chmod +x ./format-changed.sh
./format-changed.sh
rm format-changed.sh

3. Commit your changes.

git add --all
git commit -m "Format Python code with Black"

4. Merge master into your branch.

git pull upstream master

5. Resolve merge conflicts (if necessary).

After running these steps, you'll have the updated format.sh.
