Black introduces E302 with a Comment at Line 0 and no Imports about black HOT 8 CLOSED

Thanks for your report, I will be dealing with empty lines for the next release!

Oh I'm already a donor to PSF. I'll have to increase my donation! :)

flake8 is wrong, you don't have to have those pointless empty new lines at the start of the file.

Thanks for the quick turn-around! Do you have a donation link?

Thanks for asking! I appreciate that. I don't intend to make money by working on Black.

I invite you to donate to the Python Software Foundation instead. This organization protects our trademarks, sponsors development sprints and conferences, and so on.

This is now fixed in 18.3a3! Thanks! ✨ 🍰 ✨

I'm not sure if this is a regression, or if classes are handled differently, but I have the following code:

newline here
newline here
# -----
# something
# -----
class FooState:
    YES = "yes"
    NO = "no"

which black reformats to:

no newlines at all
# -----
# something
# -----
class FooState:
    YES = "yes"
    NO = "no"

which results in:

E302 expected 2 blank lines, found 0

Should I open a new issue? Is this expected behavior and flake8 is just wrong?

from black.

I figured as much. I disabled E302 given I want to let black handle all "formatting"-related concerns. Thanks for the quick reply!
