Preview minimal f-string formatting (#9642)
## Summary

_This is preview only feature and is available using the `--preview`
command-line flag._

With the implementation of [PEP 701] in Python 3.12, f-strings can now
be broken into multiple lines, can contain comments, and can re-use the
same quote character. Currently, no other Python formatter formats the
f-strings so there's some discussion which needs to happen in defining
the style used for f-string formatting. Relevant discussion:
https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/discussions/9785

The goal for this PR is to add minimal support for f-string formatting.
This would be to format expression within the replacement field without
introducing any major style changes.

### Newlines

The heuristics for adding newline is similar to that of
[Prettier](https://prettier.io/docs/en/next/rationale.html#template-literals)
where the formatter would only split an expression in the replacement
field across multiple lines if there was already a line break within the
replacement field.

In other words, the formatter would not add any newlines unless they
were already present i.e., they were added by the user. This makes
breaking any expression inside an f-string optional and in control of
the user. For example,

```python
# We wouldn't break this
aaaaaaaaaaa = f"asaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa { aaaaaaaaaaaa + bbbbbbbbbbbb + ccccccccccccccc } cccccccccc"

# But, we would break the following as there's already a newline
aaaaaaaaaaa = f"asaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa {
	aaaaaaaaaaaa + bbbbbbbbbbbb + ccccccccccccccc } cccccccccc"
```


If there are comments in any of the replacement field of the f-string,
then it will always be a multi-line f-string in which case the formatter
would prefer to break expressions i.e., introduce newlines. For example,

```python
x = f"{ # comment
    a }"
```

### Quotes

The logic for formatting quotes remains unchanged. The existing logic is
used to determine the necessary quote char and is used accordingly.

Now, if the expression inside an f-string is itself a string like, then
we need to make sure to preserve the existing quote and not change it to
the preferred quote unless it's 3.12. For example,

```python
f"outer {'inner'} outer"

# For pre 3.12, preserve the single quote
f"outer {'inner'} outer"

# While for 3.12 and later, the quotes can be changed
f"outer {"inner"} outer"
```

But, for triple-quoted strings, we can re-use the same quote char unless
the inner string is itself a triple-quoted string.

```python
f"""outer {"inner"} outer"""  # valid
f"""outer {'''inner'''} outer"""  # preserve the single quote char for the inner string
```

### Debug expressions

If debug expressions are present in the replacement field of a f-string,
then the whitespace needs to be preserved as they will be rendered as it
is (for example, `f"{ x = }"`. If there are any nested f-strings, then
the whitespace in them needs to be preserved as well which means that
we'll stop formatting the f-string as soon as we encounter a debug
expression.

```python
f"outer {   x =  !s  :.3f}"
#                  ^^
#                  We can remove these whitespaces
```

Now, the whitespace doesn't need to be preserved around conversion spec
and format specifiers, so we'll format them as usual but we won't be
formatting any nested f-string within the format specifier.

### Miscellaneous

- The
[`hug_parens_with_braces_and_square_brackets`](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/issues/8279)
preview style isn't implemented w.r.t. the f-string curly braces.
- The
[indentation](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/discussions/9785#discussioncomment-8470590)
is always relative to the f-string containing statement

  • 📏 Over 700 built-in rules, with native re-implementations of popular Flake8 plugins, like flake8-bugbear
  • ⌨️ First-party editor integrations for VS Code and more
  • 🌎 Monorepo-friendly, with hierarchical and cascading configuration

Ruff aims to be orders of magnitude faster than alternative tools while integrating more functionality behind a single, common interface.

Ruff can be used to replace Flake8 (plus dozens of plugins), Black, isort, pydocstyle, pyupgrade, autoflake, and more, all while executing tens or hundreds of times faster than any individual tool.

Ruff is extremely actively developed and used in major open-source projects like:

...and many more.

Ruff is backed by Astral. Read the launch post, or the original project announcement.

Testimonials

Sebastián Ramírez, creator of FastAPI:

Ruff is so fast that sometimes I add an intentional bug in the code just to confirm it's actually running and checking the code.

Nick Schrock, founder of Elementl, co-creator of GraphQL:

Why is Ruff a gamechanger? Primarily because it is nearly 1000x faster. Literally. Not a typo. On our largest module (dagster itself, 250k LOC) pylint takes about 2.5 minutes, parallelized across 4 cores on my M1. Running ruff against our entire codebase takes .4 seconds.

Bryan Van de Ven, co-creator of Bokeh, original author of Conda:

Ruff is ~150-200x faster than flake8 on my machine, scanning the whole repo takes ~0.2s instead of ~20s. This is an enormous quality of life improvement for local dev. It's fast enough that I added it as an actual commit hook, which is terrific.

Timothy Crosley, creator of isort:

Just switched my first project to Ruff. Only one downside so far: it's so fast I couldn't believe it was working till I intentionally introduced some errors.

Tim Abbott, lead developer of Zulip:

This is just ridiculously fast... ruff is amazing.

ruff check .                        # Lint all files in the current directory (and any subdirectories).
ruff check path/to/code/            # Lint all files in `/path/to/code` (and any subdirectories).
ruff check path/to/code/*.py        # Lint all `.py` files in `/path/to/code`.
ruff check path/to/code/to/file.py  # Lint `file.py`.
ruff check @arguments.txt           # Lint using an input file, treating its contents as newline-delimited command-line arguments.

Or, to run Ruff as a formatter:

ruff format .                        # Format all files in the current directory (and any subdirectories).
ruff format path/to/code/            # Format all files in `/path/to/code` (and any subdirectories).
ruff format path/to/code/*.py        # Format all `.py` files in `/path/to/code`.
ruff format path/to/code/to/file.py  # Format `file.py`.
ruff format @arguments.txt           # Format using an input file, treating its contents as newline-delimited command-line arguments.

      - uses: chartboost/ruff-action@v1

Configuration

Ruff can be configured through a pyproject.toml, ruff.toml, or .ruff.toml file (see: Configuration, or Settings for a complete list of all configuration options).

If left unspecified, Ruff's default configuration is equivalent to:

[tool.ruff]
# Exclude a variety of commonly ignored directories.
exclude = [
    ".bzr",
    ".direnv",
    ".eggs",
    ".git",
    ".git-rewrite",
    ".hg",
    ".ipynb_checkpoints",
    ".mypy_cache",
    ".nox",
    ".pants.d",
    ".pyenv",
    ".pytest_cache",
    ".pytype",
    ".ruff_cache",
    ".svn",
    ".tox",

    "dist",
    "node_modules",
    "site-packages",
    "venv",
]

# Same as Black.
line-length = 88
indent-width = 4

# Assume Python 3.8
target-version = "py38"

[tool.ruff.lint]
# Enable Pyflakes (`F`) and a subset of the pycodestyle (`E`)  codes by default.
select = ["E4", "E7", "E9", "F"]
ignore = []

# Allow fix for all enabled rules (when `--fix`) is provided.
fixable = ["ALL"]
unfixable = []

# Allow unused variables when underscore-prefixed.
dummy-variable-rgx = "^(_+|(_+[a-zA-Z0-9_]*[a-zA-Z0-9]+?))$"

[tool.ruff.format]
# Like Black, use double quotes for strings.
quote-style = "double"

# Like Black, indent with spaces, rather than tabs.
indent-style = "space"

# Like Black, respect magic trailing commas.
skip-magic-trailing-comma = false

# Like Black, automatically detect the appropriate line ending.
line-ending = "auto"

Some configuration options can be provided via the command-line, such as those related to rule enablement and disablement, file discovery, and logging level:

ruff check path/to/code/ --select F401 --select F403 --quiet

See ruff help for more on Ruff's top-level commands, or ruff help check and ruff help format for more on the linting and formatting commands, respectively.

Rules

Ruff supports over 700 lint rules, many of which are inspired by popular tools like Flake8, isort, pyupgrade, and others. Regardless of the rule's origin, Ruff re-implements every rule in Rust as a first-party feature.

By default, Ruff enables Flake8's F rules, along with a subset of the E rules, omitting any stylistic rules that overlap with the use of a formatter, like ruff format or Black.

If you're just getting started with Ruff, the default rule set is a great place to start: it catches a wide variety of common errors (like unused imports) with zero configuration.

Beyond the defaults, Ruff re-implements some of the most popular Flake8 plugins and related code quality tools, including:

For a complete enumeration of the supported rules, see Rules.

Acknowledgements

Ruff's linter draws on both the APIs and implementation details of many other tools in the Python ecosystem, especially Flake8, Pyflakes, pycodestyle, pydocstyle, pyupgrade, and isort.

In some cases, Ruff includes a "direct" Rust port of the corresponding tool. We're grateful to the maintainers of these tools for their work, and for all the value they've provided to the Python community.

Ruff's formatter is built on a fork of Rome's rome_formatter, and again draws on both API and implementation details from Rome, Prettier, and Black.

Ruff's import resolver is based on the import resolution algorithm from Pyright.

Ruff is also influenced by a number of tools outside the Python ecosystem, like Clippy and ESLint.

Ruff is the beneficiary of a large number of contributors.

Ruff is released under the MIT license.
