Note that as an alternative to developers having to install pre-commit, there are services that will run the pre-commit automatically. Like this one. It's free and integrates with GitHub.

https://github.com/pre-commit/action even says:

"this action is in maintenance-only mode and will not be accepting new features.

generally you want to use pre-commit.ci which is faster and has more features."

Can we keep 120 line length and avoid excessive reformatting of the code base?

[nmerket]

@rajee I'm open to it. It looks like to set a custom line length, I'd need to use a pyproject.toml. However, buildstockbatch is using setup.py. We'll need to convert the setup.py into a pyproject.toml. Would you be able to take a stab at that?

Glad you got it sorted without switching the whole project into pyproject.toml. I don't have a good experience with pyproject.toml - I tried using it for buildstock-query but had to revert back to setup.py because at that time, the toml version didn't support editable mode installation.
