Discussion on question by mguijarr: Team member is vehemently against code formatting

Have you discussed whether it's code formatting in general or this specific code formatting that he's opposed to? At a glance, black seems to violate one of the key points of PEP8: consistency is only important insofar as it improves readability; when reformatting worsens readability, keep it the same. Have you asked whether that's the problem, and whether something more configurable (e.g. YAPF, as mentioned above) would be more palatable?

Why are you trying to impose rules on your team that your lead developer doesn't agree with?
