sometimes have to manually move these comments to the right place after you format your
codebase with _Black_.

## Can I run black with PyPy?
## Can I run Black with PyPy?

Yes, there is support for PyPy 3.7 and higher. You cannot format Python 2 files under
PyPy, because PyPy's inbuilt ast module does not support this.

## Why does Black not detect syntax errors in my code?

_Black_ is an autoformatter, not a Python linter or interpreter. Detecting all syntax
errors is not a goal. It can format all code accepted by CPython (if you find an example
where that doesn't hold, please report a bug!), but it may also format some code that
CPython doesn't accept.
