Will you update build-scripts/format-code to handle .py files then?

Not yet, but it could :). Although it is specifically for C++.

formatting yourself is as simple as install black through pip and running black $FILENAME

From my experience with a rather large project, I'd like to offer two unsolicited pieces of advice:

1. use ruff format - it tends to be faster (but has subtle formatting differences), and maybe you want to use ruff lint too later
2. use line-length 120 - modern python needs quite some vertical (white)space

a pyproject.toml config would be:

[tool.ruff]
line-length = 120

Updated the PR to use ruff (which is indeed fast)

I like it, I think the next steps are:

• make sure we are all happy with the formatting rules (I am)
• if so, decide when we want to land this, as it will cause a lot of conflicts with existing branches
• rebase it and merge it

Let's discuss this with the team during a team meeting. I've added it to the list of topics
