Format Python code using Black

[za]

Hi there,

Do you mind formatting the Python source code using Black? I know it's opinionated, but IMHO having a standardized format will make the code easier to read.

I can prepare the PR and we may check the diff.

hi @za

in #38 we mention a goal of using Black to format the code, along with isort and a few other linters. so, yes, this is on the roadmap.

however, i don't want to do a one-time formatting; instead, we'll want to configure CI to check the formatting on each push and release etc. i think we'll use the pre-commit tool and github actions for this.

@ajnelson-nist and @sldouglas-nist have been working on many code quality updates recently, so i'd like to give them a chance to do this, if they'd like (no pressure). otherwise, we can coordinate here about how to apply Black to this project.

i'll leave this issue open as the central point of discussion for configuring Black to run during CI and beyond, ideally with pre-commit.

PR #57 has been opened to address this Issue.
