@ -94,7 +94,14 @@ them in the right place, this detection is not and cannot be perfect. Therefore,
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.
