+If you wish to automatically fix the basic linting problems, you can use [black formatter](https://github.com/psf/black):
+```bash
+# install black formatter
+pip install git+https://github.com/psf/black
+
+# formats all the files in that directory
+black ./files/location/
+
+# formats specified file
+black ./location/file.py
+```
