Instead of locking the version, perhaps you could run the new version and apply the changes?

If we can avoid locking to an old version it would be better.

@bitwiseman I am not 100% familiar with the usage of that tool but according to their release notes for the v22.1.0 they removed entire support for Python 2. So the fix here would be to use an alternative package or stop running Python2 by removing 'py27' from the target versions in python/pyproject.toml.

See link for more info: psf/black#2740

It is probably time for this tool to remove python 2 support. Would you be willing to make that change?

@bitwiseman I am not entirely sure what is required to make that possible. I will be happy to contribute some time if there is a well defined list of issues or things that need done.
