$ ruff check t.py 
All checks passed!

$ ruff format t.py 
1 file reformatted


ruff did move the print(("L10") out so you wouldn't want to format the

$ ruff check t.py 
invalid-syntax: Expected an indented block after `if` statement
  --> t.py:10:5

Stéphane doesn't like Python; I don't like Personal Home Page. We all have
